As NUAN ( Nuance) is a publicly traded we could see some action if this prediction comes true from Mashable
World Wide Developers' Conference in San Francisco, which starts at 1 p.m. ET.
From Mashable.com
In April 2010, Apple acquired Siri, an artificial intelligence technology that turns your iPhone into a personal assistant. Voice inquiries are quickly turned into mapping directions, restaurant reservations and movie reviews. The technology was born from the CALO project, the largest artificial intelligence project in U.S. history.
At the same time, Apple is rumored to be working on a licensing deal with Nuance, which provides some of the most powerful speech recognition technology on the market. Siri uses Nuance technology already.
With a deeper integration in iOS 5 though, Siri and Nuance could transform the iPhone from a mobile computer to a smart device with the capability to assisting you in almost any situation. Chat with your iPhone, and it comes back with the exact answer to your question or hooks you up with a list of sushi restaurants to visit on your next business trip.
It may not be long until you start talking to your phone like you would your best friend.
