Nuance Celebrates Launch of T9 Nav Microsite for Consumers, Offering T9 Nav at a Reduced Price

New Site is One-Stop Shop for Downloads and Information; Nuance’s Innovative Search and Discovery Tool Now Available for Just 5.99 Euro

London - UK, June 8, 2009 – Nuance Communications, Inc. has made it easier to purchase its successful T9 Nav solution by making it available from the newly created T9 Nav web site. To celebrate the launch of the T9Nav Online Store, Nuance has made T9 Nav available for a new price of 5.99 Euro (£5.99). Nuance’s T9 Nav is a unique search and discovery solution for mobile devices that reduces search and discovery time by close to 70 percent, and is available now as a direct-to-consumer download for Series 60 third edition phones via the newly created T9 Nav microsite for the UK.

An extension of Nuance’s pervasive T9 solution portfolio, T9 Nav leverages the T9 predictive text technology to simplify navigation and discovery of on- and off-device applications, content and information. By typing with just one key press per letter from the idle screen, consumers bypass complex menu structures and numerous key presses to find a contact, an application, a game, a song or a public bookmark – any feature or service available on the device or on the operator’s network.

For instance, users can simply press: 2 5 8 (b l u) to find and set their Bluetooth; 3 3 6 (d e n) to access a dentist appointment in their calendar or 6 2 3 (m a d) to access Madonna songs on the device, or 322 (f a c) to quickly access their mobile Facebook account.

This flattening of the user interface reduces task completion time by up to 67 percent, and as a result, enhances productivity and convenience. T9 Nav also adapts to the user’s behaviour to ensure delivery of relevant and accurate results.

“T9 Nav is very popular and has received rave reviews from users who find very quickly this tool indispensable. We are also finding that users are very receptive to the public bookmarks proposed by T9 Nav which allows them to access popular mobile sites by just entering a keyword,” said Philippe Jeanrenaud, Marketing Manager Mobility Solutions EMEA. “Over 30 percent of T9 Nav users are already using these bookmarks, with the most popular sites in the UK being Weatheronline.com, Google and Facebook. And with the new T9 Nav website, we are making it easier for consumers to buy and download the product, and learn and share its main features and benefits.”
