Nuance has agreed to acquire MobileVoiceControl, a privately held provider of a service that lets cell-phone users dictate and send e-mail and text messages, search the Web, create calendar entries and call their contacts through speech recognition. They only have to press one key on the phone to get started, according to the companies. "</i><br /><br />I recall using Nuance's products in the past through some subscription based voice-control apps, so it's good to see them stepping further into this area. Hopefully this means that the days of speaking to our phones and having them (somewhat) know what we're talking about, are closer!
