Nuance Communications today announced that Nuance’s VSuite 3 and XT9 Smart Input products are both embedded on the commercially available Samsung Memoir (SGH-t929). VSuite enables Memoir users to leverage their own voice as a complementary interface for accessing and enjoying many device features, while XT9 offers predictive text support for a variety of applications, making it faster and easier to send text messages and emails, as well as quickly type URLs via the full touch virtual QWERTY keypad.
In addition to its advanced imaging capabilities, the Memoir features Samsung’s unique TouchWiz user interface, a web browser, a music player, and assisted GPS navigation. The Samsung Memoir and the Samsung Behold, also exclusively available from T-Mobile USA, both offer voice command and control capabilities accompanied by the audio-visual feedback that is made possible with VSuite.
VSuite on the Memoir provides many application shortcuts via its “Go To” commands, including:
- “Go to Web” to open the mobile Web browser;
- “Go to Calendar” to input and reference appointments;
- “Go to Ringtones” to find and reset ringtones;
- “Go to Voicemail” to dial voicemail;
- “Go to Games” to discover the games folder;
The Samsung Memoir also features Nuance’s XT9 predictive text input software, which is optimized for mobile devices with advanced input methods such as touchscreens and QWERTY keypads. XT9 allows users to easily switch between input modes, which is particularly valuable for devices like the Memoir. Alternating between numbers, letters, symbols and languages is simple with XT9. XT9 also corrects common misspellings while typing, making it faster and easier to write text messages and emails as well as enter search queries in the Memoir’s full HTML web browser
