Microsoft has swooped in to buy up Massachusetts-based Nuance Communications Inc. The $20 billion deal is the second biggest by value in Microsoft s history, beaten only by Microsoft s acquisition of LinkedIn back in 2016. Nuance is best known for its speech recognition technology and has been in the HEXUS news several times with innovations in voice control of TVs, laptops, cars, and dictation software for PCs. However, I note that our last Nuance headlined report, back in 2014, concerned a possible buyout by Samsung.
In recent years computer/smart device voice recognition and dictation features have become quite commoditized and Nuance has adeptly refocuses its technological efforts to the healthcare / medical sector. Microsoft thinks Nuance will fit right in with its Microsoft Cloud for Healthcare, introduced in 2020.
