Avaya Unified Messaging with the Inclusion of Avaya one-X® Speech to standardize using Nuance Mobile Speech Solutions

Nuance Communications, Inc. announced that Avaya Inc. systems and services, has selected speech solutions from Nuance to enhance the employee productivity and collaboration options of its unified communications offering.

“Avaya Unified Communications gives workers the right tool for the right job, so the user interface has to be easy-to-use and provide seamless access,” said Mary Dunlop, vice president, Unified Communications Product Management. “Nuance’s speech recognition technologies are acutely attuned to the natural way of speaking, which allows mobile workers comfortably interact with communications and productivity tools even when they can’t get connected by any other means.”

“We’ve worked with Avaya for quite some time to develop a flexible, powerful speech solution to improve responsiveness and enable workers to be effective anywhere,” said Michael Thompson, general manager, mobile search, messaging and handsets, Nuance. “Simple and intuitive speech commands create a natural user interface so that employees will spend less time managing communications and more time communicating.”
