Technology Burner Technology Burner

Dave Mock of the Motley Fool suggests that Nuance Bucks the Trend.

Nuance Communications (Nasdaq: NUAN) doesn’t top any lists as a recession-resistant stock, but the company is at least showing some solid strength in a tough economic climate.

The company says its flagship Dragon Naturally Speaking software has gotten an enthusiastic welcome since its release. And the mobile sector continues to be strong, as device makers such as Nokia (NYSE: NOK), Motorola (NYSE: MOT), and Research In Motion (Nasdaq: RIMM) make speech-based interaction a standard feature in new devices.

If it is Google, it must be search

If it carries the Google label, then undoubtedly search will be involved. Marc Vanlerberghe, Google’s Product Marketing Director, has been explaining how Google is integrating search into Android and the T-mobile G1 phone and it’s already impressive. There is also a Google video that goes into more details. (Tip of the hat to SearchEngineWatch)

 
Google knows where you are better.

Location is a word that gets a lot of attention in commercial or residential real estate. However with the explosive growth of the mobile web another application of that word may take over the spotlight.

The mobile web is so attractive because you access it wherever you are. Sometimes where you are can be critically important in terms of the information you would like to get. In any day just think of the number of times you ask a question where that comes into play:

There are many ways you can interpret that phrase, ‘better marketing through dialogue’. They are all important in highlighting some of the truths in marketing more effectively.

In thinking dialogue versus monologue, it brings out the whole notion of push marketing versus pull marketing. A supplier can push advertising at prospects whether they want it or not. That is a type of monologue. Prospects are increasingly upset at this kind of intrusion. In thinking pull marketing, the aim is to get prospects seeking out information from the supplier. Such dialogue is more likely to result in a purchase.

The Google Gphone is coming. The Gphone is coming. But what exactly will it look like. TechCrunch opined a month ago that Gphone may really happen, and the Ammunition Group may be designing it. That goes against the more prevalent view that Google will be backing an open source mobile operating system that could finally break the carriers’ stranglehold on the mobile market. That stems from their involvement in the Open Handset Alliance and Android.

If it works for your blog, why not your bank?

This blog is created by using the Dragon NaturallySpeaking software from Nuance. Just dictate away and typo-free text appears on the screen. It works very effectively and rarely makes a mistake. It really is very impressive. It is one of the reasons why I believe that speech technology is the killer app for the mobile web.

The mobile web is just around the corner.
