Press Release Summary: New product allows customers to maximize combined benefits of
enterprise-wide digital dictation solution with leading speech recognition
application

Press Release Body: Nuance Communications, Inc, the leading provider of speech
solutions has today announced that Dragon NaturallySpeaking has been integrated with
WinScribe v3.7, the latest version of WinScribe's digital dictation workflow
solution. By combining the professional capabilities of Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9
with the WinScribe application, organisations will experience notable workflow
productivity gains and cost efficiencies, allowing customers to meet the demand for
faster and more cost effective reporting.

With WinScribe v3.7, both client-side and server-side speech recognition can be
combined and deployed in many different types of workflow scenarios to suit
individual requirements. Authors can review their own reports before and/or after
they are transcribed, or have them reviewed by others.

With client-side, users can view, edit and correct speech recognition text while
they dictate a job. This allows professionals to access and correct text immediately
for 'on the spot' sign-off when transcriptionists are not available, for example.

With server-side, all speech recognition jobs are sent to a speech recognition
server for automatic speech to text conversion, before being routed to a
transcriptionist for formatting and / or back to the user for review. This results
in time savings for the user who can immediately move onto dictating another job.

The combined solution enables customers to choose whether to process speech
recognition locally, or on the server according to the type of job. If speech
recognition has not been processed locally, the system will automatically submit the
selected job type to the server for speech recognition.

"The combined workflow management capabilities of WinScribe integrated with Dragon
NaturallySpeaking is not only a very exciting development for customers seeking to
maximize their productivity with an integrated speech recognition and digital
dictation workflow solution," says Greg.

Allen, Chief Technology Officer, WinScribe, "but by partnering with another
technology leader, this also supports WinScribe's commitment to ensure that
customers are working as efficiently as possible."

Commenting on WinScribe's decision to integrate Dragon NaturallySpeaking, Neil
Grant, Nuance Regional Sales Director, said; "Nuance's unmatched heritage in speech
recognition makes Dragon NaturallySpeaking the first choice for any organisation
that implements speech as an interface to its product, service, or solution.
WinScribe's decision to integrate Dragon NaturallySpeaking further validates Nuance
position as the speech technology market leader."
