Nuance Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUAN) today announced that its Dragon Dictation and Dragon Search applications for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad are available for free in the Czech Republic and Romania App Stores. Supporting the Czech and Romanian languages as part of their Eastern European expansion, Dragon Search and Dragon Dictation allow iOS consumers to quickly and easily dictate SMS text messages, emails, social media updates, mobile Web searches and more, up to five times faster than typing.
"Dragon Dictation and Dragon Search have already demonstrated success across Eastern Europe, attributable to the intense global demand for voice-enabled mobile platforms," said Michael Thompson, senior vice president and general manager, Nuance Mobile. "33 countries later, the momentum behind the Dragon Apps hasn't stopped – and consumers worldwide can be sure we'll continue to rollout the Apps in even more countries this year."
Dragon Dictation is iOS-5 compatible and features a pop-up toolbar with app icons that enable users to easily access email, SMS, Facebook or Twitter status bars, or the clipboard. Dragon Dictation also includes a convenient Auto Save function that retains dictated text when the user is interrupted by an incoming phone call.
Dragon Search allows users to simply speak any search query to quickly and easily find information and knowledge on the mobile Web. Dragon Search features Nuance's unique and innovative Dragon Search Carousel, which delivers faster, smarter search results within seconds across multiple channels all at once including Google, Yahoo!, Twitter, iTunes, Wikipedia and YouTube.
