FBI adopts Nuance technology

Nuance Communications Inc. announced today that the FBI has selected one of its speech-recognition products.

The Burlington company, a provider of speech and imaging solutions, said the Federal Bureau of Investigation will use its Dragon Naturally Speaking product in order to offer speech-recognition capabilities throughout the FBI.

The product will enable FBI agents to quickly and accurately create comprehensive reports, interviews, and other documents by voice, increasing productivity over manual typing, Nuance said.
