What types of applications work well for speech?

Virtually any mobile application is a great candidate for speech integration.

Please note, our speech platforms are tuned for conversational dialogue. If you require a very specific vocabulary (highly scientific, etc.), or if you will be executing single-word queries or numbers, please contact sales here to discuss recommended options available through our professional services team.

Can I make Nuance speech capabilities available to 3rd-party applications?

Our Silver and Gold production licenses allow you to use Nuance speech capabilities in your application only. These agreements do not allow you to make our speech capabilities available (directly or indirectly) to other applications. If you want to make Nuance speech capabilities available to any other applications you should contact us to discuss a custom arrangement.

What do I get access to?

You’ll get access to Mix.nlu, our web based NLU tool to develop natural language understanding models. Mix.nlu allows you to parse understanding from speech recognition (ASR) and derive meaning using natural language understanding (NLU).

This means that you can create applications that can take actions based on what is spoken, for example:

“Play some funky jazz” = user_intent: change_playlist, type: funky_jazz
“Turn the lights on in the kitchen” = user_intent: lights_on, location: home_kitchen

What kind of apps and experiences is Mix designed to power?

The Mix.nlu tool is ideal for developers interested in adding natural language interactions into mobile app experiences, IoT, wearables, and other use cases.

How many languages does Mix.nlu support?

Mix.nlu currently supports the following languages: Chinese, Dutch, English (US, Australian, UK), French (France, Canada), German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese (Brazil, Portugal), Russian, Spanish (Spain, Latin America) and Swedish. New languages are always being added so check back for updates.

Is Nuance Mix appropriate for all developers – healthcare and enterprise?

Nuance Mix is specifically focused on consumer device and mobile app experiences for IoT. Nuance does have offerings for the healthcare and enterprise vertical markets, with language models and services that meet the needs of those industries specifically.
