Nuance today announced that the Nuance Mobile flagship VSuite application is shipping on the Palm Centro smartphone from AT&T.

Palm has selected Nuance VSuite to enable hands-free, one-step access to mobile applications and content. VSuite offers a speech-based user interface for hands-free, eyes-free access to smartphone features. In addition to being included on the Centro from AT&T, VSuite is provided on the Treo 755p from Verizon Wireless. VSuite is also supported on all Palm OS based Palm Treo smartphones.

Nuance also offers Nuance Voice Control, a subscription-based service that allows Palm users to easily connect to the mobile web using only their voice. Nuance Voice Control users can dictate and send email or text messages, create calendar entries, or search the Web for business listings, news, weather, stock quotes, sport scores and more.

Sample commands provided by VSuite include:

• Name Dialing: dial any name from the phone’s contact list (e.g., “Call John Smith Mobile”)
• Digit Dialing: dial a phone number (e.g. “Call 781 970 5200”)
• Message Addressing: address text, picture and video messages (e.g., “Send Text to John Smith Mobile”)
• Contact Lookup: look up the contact details for any name in your contact list (e.g., “Lookup John Smith”)
• Voice-activated application launch: single command access to any application or menu item on the phone (e.g., “Open Calendar”)
