Nuance Expands Self-Service Mobile Developer Program to China

Nuance Communications, Inc. today announced that it is expanding it’s Nuance Mobile Developer Program to China, expanding the language support of the Dragon Mobile SDK to Mandarin Chinese. Launched in January, the Nuance Mobile Developer Program gives mobile developers the power to voice enable virtually any application for iOS and Android via the self-service website – allowing them to quickly and easily leverage the powerful dictation and voice search capabilities at the core of the successful Dragon Dictation and Dragon Search apps, and Nuance’s trusted Vocalizer text-to-speech (TTS).

Since its initial launch in January in the US and Europe, the Nuance Mobile Developer Program has signed more than 2500 developers in its first 90 days. In fact, the program has successfully launched dozens of voice-enabled apps globally for iOS and Android – some in just 30 days or less – including Siri, Price Check by Amazon, Ask for iPhone, Merriam-Webster, Dictionary.com, SpeechTrans, AirYell from Avantar, iTranslate from Sonico, Taskmind from Catalyst, and many others.
