Nuance Dragon Dictation and Dragon Search Apps Now Available in The Netherlands

The Dragon Apps are based on the renowned Dragon NaturallySpeaking platform, and have been downloaded by millions around the world, hitting the number one and number two spots among free Apple apps in every region available. In fact, Dutch is fifteenth language supported by the Dragon Apps, and the Netherlands is the seventeenth country where they are available - both accomplished in just the last year.

Dragon Dictation is iOS-4 compatible and features a pop-up toolbar with app icons for easy access to Email, SMS, Facebook or Twitter status bars, or the clipboard. Dragon Dictation also includes a convenient Auto Save function that retains dictated text when the user is interrupted by an incoming phone call. And with multilingual capabilities, all Dragon app users are able to easily switch between supported languages as they come available.

Dragon Search for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, also now available on the Dutch App Store, allowing users to simply speak any search query to quickly and easily find information and answers on the mobile Web. Dragon Search is the only app to feature Nuance's unique and innovative Dragon Search Carousel, which delivers faster, smarter search results within seconds across multiple channels all at once, including Google or Bing!, iTunes, Twitter, Wikipedia and YouTube.

"Our rapid expansion of the Dragon Apps in both language support and country availability has been fueled by intense global demand for mobile voice capabilities," said Michael Thompson, senior vice president and general manager, Nuance Mobile. "This latest foray into The Netherlands with support for Dutch further demonstrates our commitment to bringing the power of voice to more mobile users worldwide - and there will be more to come before the end of the year."

Both Dragon Dictation and Dragon Search are available for free from the Apple App Store.

Dragon Dictation and Dragon Search support U.S., U.K. and Australian English, German, European and Canadian French, Italian, Americas and European Spanish, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Taiwan Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean and Dutch. The applications are available in the US, Canadian, Mexican, UK, German, French, Italian, Australian, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, Taiwanese, Hong Kong, Korean, Swiss, Austrian and now also in the Dutch App Stores.
