Nuance Brings its Voice Developer Tools to Twitter Fabric

SAN FRANCISCO & BURLINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Nuance Communications, Inc. NUAN today announced from Twitter Flight that its Nuance SpeechKit SDK will soon be available as part of Twitter's Fabric developer platform. As a result, developers can quickly and easily voice-enable apps and services with Nuance voice recognition and text-to-speech, and any additional services that Nuance brings to its developer community in the future.

Nuance's SpeechKit SDK delivers self-service voice recognition and text-to-speech for iOS and Android. Nuance's SpeechKit lets developers create specialized voice experiences for their apps, through the ability to create customized language models in more than 40 languages, and choose from more than 80 distinct voices for text-to-speech. By integrating Nuance SpeechKit into Fabric, developers can have a fully voice-enabled interface in a matter of minutes.

"Giving developers access to the best tools and services as part of one simple platform is what makes Twitter Fabric incredibly unique in a rapidly growing developer ecosystem. And by integrating Nuance's SpeechKit SDK, we're giving developers the opportunity to easily design and create voice-enabled experiences that power a wide range of apps and services," said Rich Paret, GM Developer Platform, Twitter.

"Fabric's diverse developer community creates an exciting opportunity for us to bring voice and conversational experiences to a wide range of apps and services – apps for social networking, IoT, gaming, entertainment, music and much more," said Mike Thompson, executive vice president and general manager, Nuance Mobile. "In an era where the interface is shrinking while becoming more intelligent, Nuance's voice technology instantly gives developers an opportunity to simplify and customize that experience with an incredibly natural, intuitive and powerful connection."

Nuance's SpeechKit SDK will be available as part of Fabric later this fall. For more information, visit get.fabric.io. To learn more about Nuance Developers, visit developer.nuance.com.
