In a move which will expand its presence in the mobile industry, speech technologies leader Nuance Communications Inc. has reportedly acquired Tegic Communications Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of AOL which develops embedded software for mobile devices. The deal, which is valued at about $265 million, will give Nuance access to Tegic's T9 predictive text input software, which has reportedly been shipped to more than 2.5 billion devices. Nuance will now begin to integrate Tegic's next-generation integrated text and touch input solutions into its portfolio of voice-enabled applications for device control, mobile search, email and text messaging.
