Was ist los mit dieser "Superaktie" ???
Gibt es news?
Warum fällt sie jetzt?
Wann soll ich einsteigen, oder ist es dafür jetzt zu spät?

Warte auf Antwort,
Danke

[supertrouper]

Ich bin in kleineren Teilschritten reingegangen. Heute, bei Kursen um die 136 Euro, sehe ich wieder eine gute Einstiegschance. Gestern haben, so denke ich, reine Gewinnmmitnahmen den Kurs belastet. Ob es News gibt, weiß ich nicht. Vielleicht haben auch einige in speechWorks umgeschichtet (SPWX, IPO war am 1.8.), die entwickeln ebenfalls Spracherkennungssoftware.
Ich denke, daß sich der Kurs von Nuance schnell wieder erholen wird und - wie in letzter Zeit häufig zu beobachten war - unabhängig vom Trend an der Nasdaq.
Möglicherweise geht es jedoch noch ein Stückchen runter (bei dem Anstieg in der letzten Zeit wäre dies nicht verwunderlich!). Dabei kann man ja als interessierter Anleger häppchenweise mit Limits einsammeln.
Viel Glück.

[miceMaker]

an Erdbeereis, die Spanne des Trendkanals, in dem NUAN sich bewegt ist etwa 20% groß, wenn man die Tageshöchst und -Tiefstände mit berücksichtigt noch größer. Nun hat NUAN gerade mal 2 Tage schlechter geschlossen als die Vortage (wie auf dem bisherigen Weg schon öfter passiert, alles andere wäre auch wirklich nicht normal!). NUAN bewegt sich immer noch innerhalb des Trendkanals. Und selbst ein weiterer Einbruch bis 120 $ wäre noch völlig normal.
Man muß so einem Wert einfach auch mal Verschnaufpausen gönnen. Wenn Du über eine Hürde springen willst, nimmst Du wahrscheinlich auch erst Anlauf. Soviel erst mal zu der jetzigen Situation von NUAN.
Was die weitere Entwicklung angeht, nach einer solchen Rallye wie von Nuance, muß man natürlich immer mit entsprechend heftigen Korrekturen rechnen. Ich gehe allerdings davon aus, das es genügend Anleger gibt, die nur darauf warten in diesen Wert noch mal billiger rein zu kommen und somit solche Korrekturen von kurzer Dauer sein dürften. Zusammengefaßt würde ich sagen: Korrekturen wird es geben wie bei jedem anderen Wert und zwar der Kategorie kurz, heftig und gesund.
Langfristig glaube ich der Wert wird sich noch mehrfach vervielfachen. Das dürfte jedem einleuchten, dem bewußt ist, daß es zukünftig kein E-Commerce ohne V-Commerce geben wird und das VoiceWeb das Internetschlagwort der Zukunft ist. Es gibt wesentlich mehr Handy-Besitzer als PC-Besitzer. Und warum soll ich meine Aktiengeschäfte nicht irgendwo vom Strand aus machen. VoiceWeb macht dies und vieles mehr möglich! Was NUAN dabei noch zu Gute kommt, es gibt kaum vernünftige Alternativen zu deren Technik!
So, abschließend sei noch mal erwähnt, daß die meisten Technikwerte natürlich auch abhängig von der gesamten Marktlage sind. Bis jetzt hat NUAN sich wenig geschert was der NASDAQ macht aber das muß nicht immer so sein?!?!

@Erdbeereis

heute ist NUANCE ja mal wieder ganz gut gelaufen.
Ob man da noch einsteigen sollte trau ich mich nicht zu sagen
irgendwie bekomm ich immer ein bißchen Schiß wenn
eine Aktie so abhebt.
Aber bisher ist es sehr erfreulich
und immer wenn ich dachte so das wars hat sie nochmal zugelegt

mfg,
GBF

[Erdbeereis]

An supertrouper, miceMaker, GBF ....

Tausend Dank erstmal für Eure Antworten!
Inzwischen bin ich eingestiegen.Allerdings zu ca. 150 Eur .
(Genauen Kurs weiss ich noch nicht)
Hab auch erstmal nur wenige gekauft, (was mich nach dem
heutigen Kursanstieb im Amiland schon wieder ärgert), und
und einen Stop bei 120 gesetzt.
Was ich mich frage:
Warum ist diese Aktie in Deutschland völlig unbekannt?
Welche Firma ist in Deutschland/Europa auf diesm Gebiet tätig
Kauft Ihr direkt an der Nasdaq? Geht das überhaupt? (Bin
bisher bei der Olb und die konnten mir das jedenfalls nicht
nicht genau sagen)

Tschau erstmal,
Erdbeereis

[ofenblase]

Hallo Erdbeereis,

der "First Mover "in Europa sitzt im belgischen Silicon Valley und heißt Lernout & Hauspie.

[miceMaker]

@Erdbeereis

Ich habe über Börsenplatz New York gekauft, ist bei Consors möglich aber erheblich teurer. Was soll`s, bei der Performance!? Eine andere Möglichkeit ist, auch über Consors, US-Trading. Auf Antrag bekommt man ein Depot in den USA bei einem Broker, der mit Consors zusammen arbeitet. Das ist auch etwas teurer als hier zu kaufen, aber nicht in den Maßen.

miceMaker

[supertrouper]

@Erdbeereis
Außer Nuance kenne ich in diesem Segment noch lernout & hauspie, SpeechWorks Int. und Locus Dialogue. Ob das letztgenannte Unternehmen börsennotiert ist, weiß ich nicht genau, ich habe davon auch nur in einem anderen Thread gelesen. SpeechWorks Int. ist ein amerik. Unternehmen.

[Nasbi]

Nuance konnte sich in den letzten Tagen gegen den Trend entwickeln. Wenn die Stimmung sich zu Gunsten der High-Techs ändert, sollten höhere Kursgewinne die Folge sein.

[Master P]

80$...also glatte Halbierung....verlockend, oder !?!?!?!

PS:steht bei mir nu(a)n(ce) () ganz oben auf der Watchlist!!!

[Nasbi]

O.K. in letzter Zeit sah es ja nicht ganz so gut aus. Meiner Meinung nach hat aber auch der Skandal bei Lernout & Hauspie zu den Kursverlusten bei Nuance beigetragen.
Hierin könnte aber langfristig eine Chance liegen, da sich L&H als ernsthafter Konkurrent selber disqualifiziert haben.
An der Zukunft der Branche besteht aus meiner Sicht kein Zweifel.
Andere Meinungen oder Bestätigungen?

[Kosto-in-spe-lany]

...an der Zukunft der Branche gibt es wirklich keinen Zweífel,und ich habe Nuance schon seit drei Monaten auf meiner Watchlist,einerseits froh,nicht früher eingestiegen zu sein,andererseits immer im Zweifel,ob`s nicht langsam Zeit wird,bewgen sich in letzter Zeit ja ständig um die 100 Euro herum,was meint Ihr,Lok-Up der Alaktionäre ist ja schon seit Anfang Oktober abgelaufen,ob man jetzt so langsam einsteigen könnte?
Was mich aber wirklcih wundert,ist der geringe Umsatz in Deutschland,da sollte man dann gerade diesen Wert doch in NYSE kaufen,richtig?
Gruß,
K.

[Nasbi]

@Kosto

freut mich ja, daß ich nicht der einzige bin, der sich mit Nuance beschäftigt. Ich bin leider schon seit längerer Zeit investiert, aber der Kurs ist nun schon wieder knapp vor meinem Einstiegskurs.
Ich habe Nuance in Deutschland gekauft. Würde bei derartig geringen Umsätzen in Zukunft aber immer direkt in den USA handeln. Die Hauptsache aus meiner Sicht ist aber, daß man handelt und zwar kauft.

[Mr. Dow]

Jetzt ist die beste zeit zum einstieg gekommen der Chart sieht seit langem nicht mehr so gut aus als jetzt,der Boden wurde gefunden (bei 9 bis 10$,sehr stark ausgeprägt)!Ich würde mich nicht wundern wenn wir bei dieser Aktie 40$ auf mittelfristiger sicht sehen sollten!

[sittin bull inv]

Bin seit kurzem auch mal wieder mit von der Partie.


Mal sehen,
normalerweise sollte sie nun fallen.

[Gelenkbusfahrer]

gute Idee

[Mr. Dow]

Ich nehme stark an das morgen ein schöner ausbruch über die 15$ Marke kommt,vieleicht wieder mal über 20%,die zahlen von Intel und Texas sehen gut aus also gehe ich davon aus das es morgen ein schöner Handelstag wird (und hoffentlich ein noch schönerer für nuan)!

[Mr. Dow]

Na das sieht ja sehr gut aus!!!20% im plus ich hoffe mal da kommt noch mehr!

[Valentina]

Auch wenn hier nur wenige zugegen sind, versuche ich mal mein Glück. Wie groß ist das Erholungspotential von Nuance?? Werden wir noch mal Kurse von über 25 sehen?
Bitte um Meinungen.

Valentina

[matthiasch]

@ Valentina
Zur Zeit würde ich nicht in Nuance investieren.
Nuance ist zwar Marktführer,ich glaube aber nicht, dass sie sich langfristig durchsetzen wird. Bis auf den gestrigen Anstieg von über 20% hat sie von ihren Tiefständen noch nicht viel Boden gutgemacht. Die schlechten Quartalszahlen sagen ja schon alles.

[sittin bull inv]

Nanu, schon wieder bei 18$...

was geht da?

[Valentina]

Hallo zusammen!

Das ist unglaublich, Nuance stieg gestern trotz negativer Nasdaq-tendenz um 22%. Warum? Wer hat Infos?

Nuance Shares Rise; No Fresh News in
Sight

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Shares of voice-recognition software maker
Nuance Communications Inc. (Nasdaq:NUAN - news) rose strongly on
Thursday as the company extended its recovery from life lows following
an earnings warning in April.

Softer demand for Nuance`s products, which allow the user of a cellular
phone to access e-mail with just a voice command, was to blame for the
company`s disappointing first-quarter results and is likely to hurt the
second quarter as well, management has said.

Nuance shares were up $1.34, or 7.3 percent, to $19.64 in afternoon Nasdaq trade. The shares fell to a
life low of $8.86 in mid-April after the company warned of wider-than-expected losses for the second
quarter. Since then, the shares have more than doubled in price.

Ron Croen, Nuance`s president and chief executive officer, declined to comment on recent activity in the
stock.

But some analysts said a Nuance meeting with current and potential customers in San Diego this week,
where the company introduced some new products, could have helped to strengthen the view that there
is still big potential for voice-recognition software.

``I think people realized that we are not part of the dot-com phenomena, that this is a technology in early
stages of evolution with growth in front of us,`` Croen added.

He would not say whether the company might be in a position to revise upward its earnings guidance.
When it reported first-quarter results on April 19, Nuance said it expected pro forma losses of 29 to 35
cents a share for the second quarter.

Analysts, on average, expect Nuance to post a loss of 34 cents per share in the quarter, with estimates
ranging from a loss of 31 cents to a loss of 38 cents, according to research firm Thomson Financial/First
Call.

Year-to-date, shares of Nuance has outperformed those of rival SpeechWorks International Inc.
(Nasdaq:SPWX - news) by about 30 percent.

[sittin bull inv]

Da sind sie wieder, die 18 Dollar.


Wer glaubt noch, das demnächst bei guten Marktumfeld
26 Dollar drin sind?

[Valentina]

Nuance ist unglaublich stabil. Ich glaube, wenn die Nasdaq mal wieder in den Bereich von 2500 kommen sollte, sind auch über 30 Euro (100%) bei Nuance drin.

first voice application resulting from the Cisco-Nuance relationship

Monday July 16, 6:03 am Eastern Time

Nuance Speech Recognition Software Powers Cisco Systems` Personal Assistant Application

New Offering Employs a Voice Interface to Simplify Business Communications
MENLO PARK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 16, 2001--Nuance (Nasdaq:NUAN - news), the leader in Voice Web software, today announced that Cisco Systems has incorporated Nuance`s industry-leading speech recognition and voice authentication software into Personal Assistant, an IP-based telephony application that is part of the AVVID (Architecture for Voice, Video and Integrated Data) product family.

The Nuance-powered Cisco Personal Assistant, developed using Nuance SpeechObjects(TM), is raising the bar for productivity by enabling users to conduct a variety of tasks using simple voice commands, rather than a telephone keypad. Users can utilize the speech interface to dial by voice, manage conference calls from any telephone, retrieve, reply to, record, skip and delete messages, and forward calls to any location, alternatively applying rules such as time-of-day, caller identification and meeting schedules at the same time.

``The Cisco Personal Assistant is the first voice application resulting from the Cisco-Nuance relationship,`` said Ron Croen, president and CEO, Nuance. ``It`s a great example of how industry-leading telecommunications equipment providers are embracing speech recognition and the Voice Web to differentiate their offerings and deliver new productivity-enhancing tools to their customers.``

An introductory edition of Cisco Personal Assistant and the Cisco Personal Assistant Directory Dialer is currently available with the Cisco CallManager for customer lab trials.

Nuance Speech Recogntion Transforms Telephone Banking for Over Half a Million UBS Customers

MENLO PARK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 17, 2001--

Global Financial Services Firm Selects Nuance Software
Based on Broad Language Support, Accuracy and Flexibility

Nuance (Nasdaq:NUAN), the leader in Voice Web software, today announced that UBS, the world`s largest global asset manager, is using Nuance natural language speech recognition in its `UBS Voice` application, taking advantage of Nuance`s recently announced support for Swiss-accented German. This voice-enabled application has increased automation rates and offers greater ease-of-use for more than 600,000 customers.

UBS customers are able to check bank balances, make transactions, transfer funds and find out the latest information on Swiss and certain European and American equities just by speaking naturally. UBS Voice eliminates the fixed menu structures of traditional interactive voice response (IVR) systems. With Nuance software, callers can reach all menu points of the application simply by saying the function that they require.

According to UBS, its speech applications are very often the primary interaction with its customers so it`s critical that the voice system understands callers, regardless of accent. With UBS Voice, the company is very focused on creating a better user experience and delivering a more personalised telephone banking service.

UBS is also one of the first companies to deploy a system with a customized `Persona,` where the character, age and tone of voice is designed specifically to suit the company and essentially `brands` the service. Adding persona allows the UBS Voice system to offer a sense of real dialogue with a consistent conversational style, creating a more enjoyable, satisfying user experience. Persona research and design is one of Nuance`s core specialties and is available through its professional services organization.

UBS Voice is currently available in Swiss-accented German, however, French, Italian and English will be implemented soon. To provide UBS Voice users with the greatest flexibility, the application will take advantage of Nuance`s unique Dynamic Language Detection(TM) capabilities. This allows callers using the UBS system to speak in any supported language at any time during the call -- not just at the beginning, like other systems.

Increased service efficiency and cost reduction were key factors in choosing the Nuance system. Robert Morgen, sales director, said, "The UBS Voice system is already reducing hold times and has successfully automated the banking service. By installing Nuance software, UBS is ensuring that customers receive a 24-hour instant service when and where they need it, proving that speech recognition is the solution for companies looking to automate even the most complex transactions and queries."

Nuance`s speech recognition and voice authentication software include the models for Swiss-accented German and are generally available for free for development purposes through the Nuance Developer Network at www.nuance.com. Pricing for system deployment is available upon request.

MENLO PARK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 31, 2001--

Industry-Leading Speech Recognition Software Provider Honored in

Call Center and Telephony, Verification Software

and Best Speech Deployment Categories

Nuance (Nasdaq:NUAN, news, msgs), the leader in Voice Web software, announced today that the
company received three Peak Performance Awards from Speech Technology Magazine. The awards
program is designed to recognize the products, services or innovations of speech technology
companies whose efforts have propelled the industry to the forefront of technological innovations in
communications. Nuance received recognition in the categories of Call Center and Telephony,
Verification software and Best Speech Deployment.

"Winners of our Peak Performance Awards represent the `best of the best` in their categories and
are primarily responsible for the great strides that speech technology is making in the global
marketplace," said John Kelly, Speech Technology Magazine`s publisher and editor-in-chief.
Readers` Choice Awards were determined by the worldwide readership of Speech Technology
Magazine.

The Call Center and Telephony award reflects the wide endorsement of Nuance`s industry-leading speech recognition software. It is
deployed throughout the world in call center and telephony applications in a variety of markets including banking, travel and
telecommunications. The software is the industry`s most accurate; it is highly scalable and features support for 25 languages, more than
any other speech recognition software.

Winning in the Verification category, Nuance Verifier 2.0 voice authentication software uses voiceprints to deliver secure telephone
access and personalization without the use of passwords or PINs. The software allows consumers to conduct financial transactions,
place orders and much more using nothing more than the telephone and the power of voice.

Honored in the Best Speech Deployment category, OnStar`s Virtual Advisor is a new service that combines wireless communications,
voice recognition and text-to-speech technology built on General Magic`s magicTalk(TM) voice platform. Virtual Advisor uses Nuance`s
speech recognition software to provide personalized Web-based information, in a completely voice-activated, audio manner. Users can
have hands-free, in-vehicle access to e-mail, stock quotes, weather updates and news content -- including sports, financial, headline,
business and world news.

In addition, Nuance speech recognition software is behind the Editor`s Choice Award for Most Innovative Solution, the ShopTalk
deployment of the Jiffy Lube application. Among the first retail applications written in VoiceXML, it integrates Nuance`s speech
recognition software and runs on Tellme Networks, Inc.`s voice application network to let customers talk directly to a voice server. Once
customers sign up, the Jiffy Lube voice application calls them three months after each oil change. They can tell the server to forward the
message to an e-mail address or connect them to the nearest Jiffy Lube for an appointment.

This industry-wide recognition is a testament to Nuance`s leadership in the speech technology category. Nuance`s customers around the
world are benefiting from the cost savings and improved customer satisfaction that Nuance speech software provides. These benefits
will continue to drive speech technology to a $5 billion worldwide market, according to the Kelsey Group, a New York-based financial
analyst organization.

our revenues continued to reflect the overall challenging business climate for technology companies," said Ron Croen, the company`s president and
CEO, in a press release. "Nonetheless, we continued to work on customer prospects, focused marketing programs and channel relationships, as
well as rolling out new products and services. We also reduced expenses by decreasing headcount and implementing other cost control measures."
Looking ahead, Nuance expects to report a pro forma loss of 29 to 35 cents a share on revenue of $9 million to $11 million in the third quarter, a
range that runs wider than the current consensus estimate of analysts for a loss of 30 cents.

Oracle Embraces Voice Technology Across All Product Lines

Printer-friendly version

Oracle9i Application Server Wireless First to Offer Integrated Voice Support Teams With Industry Leaders General Magic, Intel, Motorola,
Nuance, SpeechWorks, Vail Systems, Verascape and VoiceGenie to Deliver Complete Voice Solutions

REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., Aug. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- ( http://www.oracle.com/tellmemore/?860877 ) Oracle Corp. (Nasdaq: ORCL, news,
msgs) today announced comprehensive support for the creation and deployment of voice-enabled services across its technology and
applications software. As part of this initiative, Oracle9i Application Server (Oracle9iAS) Wireless will become the industry`s first
application server to offer integrated voice support, which will enable mainstream developers to create and deploy applications just once
for use with any interface -- Web, wireless or voice. Voice support will also become a key component of other Oracle(R) software and
services, including Oracle E-Business Suite, OracleMobile Online Studio and Oracle JDeveloper.

Oracle`s broad commitment to support voice-access to information will accelerate the acceptance of voice technology in the corporate
enterprise. To accomplish this, Oracle is working with voice technology leaders General Magic (Nasdaq: GMGC, news, msgs), Intel
(Nasdaq: INTC, news, msgs), Motorola (NYSE: MOT, news, msgs), Nuance (Nasdaq: NUAN, news, msgs), SpeechWorks (Nasdaq: SPWX,
news, msgs), Vail Systems, Verascape and VoiceGenie to offer customers complete voice solutions. In addition, Oracle also announced
today that it has opened a voice technology development center in Chicago dedicated to advancing voice technology and applications in
addition to testing and optimizing third-party voice technology for deployment on Oracle software.

"Our business depends on being able to provide a high-quality experience to our customers
regardless of the device or interface," said Eric Tumperi, CEO of AnyTransaction, a voice application
service provider for catalog companies. "By integrating Oracle9i Application Server Wireless into our
application delivery platform, we easily create and manage applications that extend the reach of
existing business systems to additional channels."

A Complement to Wireless Interfaces


Many companies have discovered that they can significantly improve business processes by enabling
their customers, employees and partners to access key information from wireless devices. But in
certain situations, such as driving a car, using wireless data applications is neither safe nor practical.
In other situations, inputting information via keypad or stylus is not optimal. Voice provides an ideal
complement to wireless data by offering an easy-to-use interface that enables requests to simply be
spoken directly into a handset or hands-free device.

Oracle Gives Applications a Voice


Although voice applications have been deployed by many companies, they have primarily been
developed with proprietary tools and limited to call centers and telecommunications carriers. By
making voice an integral part of Oracle9i Application Server Wireless, an Internet-standards based
application server, voice development and deployment will now be available to developers familiar
with Java, Visual Basic, eXtensible Markup Language (XML) and other popular languages, making voice accessible to most enterprises.
Oracle`s commitment to integrating voice technology across its software and services includes:

-- Oracle9i Application Server Wireless: Future enhancements will enable

applications to be seamlessly accessed from the web, wireless devices,
or by spoken commands through telephones and VoiceXML gateways. Later
this year, the software is scheduled to feature enhanced support for
voice and voice-based notifications while offering the high
performance, security and reliability of Oracle9i Application Server.
-- Oracle E-Business Suite: Future enhancements in Oracle9i Application
Server Wireless are expected to quickly make many key applications
voice-ready, including field sales, field service, business
intelligence and e-commerce.
-- OracleMobile Online Studio: For companies who want to start building
voice applications today, OracleMobile Online Studio gives developers
up to six months of early access to advanced technology. Internet
developers can quickly and easily develop and test voice applications
for deployment as an online service.
-- Oracle JDeveloper: Java and XML developers are able to easily and
quickly build, test, and debug wireless and voice applications within
Oracle JDeveloper`s full-featured integrated development environment
and its built-in Java2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) framework.
-- Oracle Unified Messaging: With a future release of Oracle9i
Application Server with Oracle Unified Messaging, companies will be
able to provide their employees with access to voice mail, e-mail and
faxes from multiple interfaces including Web, wireless and voice.
Oracle is already offering its employees access to voice-enabled email.
-- My Oracle: Many of the applications of My Oracle, the personalized
pages of Oracle.com, will be available from a voice interface.


"By fully integrating voice technology into its standards-based application server and exposing that technology to developers, Oracle is
accelerating the movement of voice beyond the call center and telecom industry and into the corporate enterprise," said William Meisel,
president of TMA Associates, a leading voice consultancy. "This is a clear indication that Oracle understands the voice opportunity and is
looking to drive the market."

"Earlier approaches to voice technology treated voice as a stand-alone access method. However, true value is derived from the ability to
access the same information from any access point, be it Web, wireless or voice," said Denise Lahey, CEO of OracleMobile, the mobile
products and services division of Oracle Corp. "With the combined capabilities of our partners` technologies with Oracle9i Application
Server Wireless, we will be able to deliver the most complete wireless and voice solutions available."

Oracle Aligns with Voice Technology Leaders

MENLO PARK, Calif., July 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Nuance (Nasdaq: NUAN, news, msgs), the leader in Voice Web
software, today announced results for the quarter ended June 30, 2001. Total revenue for the quarter was $10.0
million versus $12.0 million in the same period of the previous year.

The pro forma net loss for the second quarter was $11.2 million, excluding amortization of intangibles, non-cash
compensation expenses and restructuring charges, or $0.34 per share, compared with a pro forma net loss of $4.5
million, or $0.16 per share, for the same period last year. Net loss on a GAAP basis for the second quarter was
$68.1 million and includes restructuring charges and asset impairment costs totaling $55.0 million. These charges
comprise $53.5 million of costs resulting from the company`s decision not to occupy a new, previously leased
headquarters facility in Redwood City and $1.5 million of costs associated with a reduction in headcount in April.

Software license revenue for the second quarter was $5.0 million compared with
$8.7 million in the same period last year. Service revenue for the second quarter
was $5.0 million versus $3.3 million in the same period last year.

As of June 30, 2001, the company had $190.9 million in cash and cash equivalents.

"In Q2, our revenues continued to reflect the overall challenging business climate
for technology companies," said Ron Croen, president and CEO of Nuance.
"Nonetheless, we continued to work on customer prospects, focused marketing
programs and channel relationships, as well as rolling out new products and
services. We also reduced expenses by decreasing headcount and implementing
other cost control measures. We are confident that these actions, together with our
strong cash position, lay a strong foundation for resumed growth in the future."

In the quarter, Nuance launched several products and services. These included Voice Web Server 1.2, Nuance`s
VoiceXML software platform that fully supports the emerging standard for voice application development, Nuance
Vocalizer 1.0 text-to-speech software, and the addition of "Say Anything" technology to the Nuance 7.0 speech
recognition engine. Nuance Voice Interface Consulting and Production Services have expanded to include
persona design and production. These services help Nuance customers improve user satisfaction with their
systems. All of these offerings are designed to help Nuance and its partners streamline the development and
deployment of voice applications and to maximize return on investment and end-user satisfaction for enterprises
and telecommunications service providers.

Nuance continued to win new business during the quarter. In the wireless carrier market, Nuance provided the
speech recognition software for AT&T Wireless` recently deployed voice portal, based on the Tellme Networks
platform. Nuance provided the enabling software in several other pilot applications that started in the second
quarter with telecommunications carriers from around the world. Nuance added new enterprise customers to its
roster including UBS -- the Swiss parent of UBS PaineWebber and UBS Warburg -- and All Nippon Airways.

Also in the quarter, Nuance hosted the most successful V-World conference to date. Over 1000 participants from
33 countries attended the event, with the main focus being the development, design and deployment of
speech-based applications.

Business Outlook


The company currently estimates the following for the third quarter of 2001:

-- Revenue between $9.0 million and $11.0 million;

-- Pro forma net loss per share, excluding amortization of intangibles and
non-cash compensation expenses, between $0.29 and $0.35 per share;
-- Cash, cash equivalents and short term investments at September 30, 2001
