MENLO PARK, California, April 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — April 15, 2021 \u2013 SRI International<\/a> congratulates Nuance Communications on their acquisition by Microsoft for $19.7 billion, making it the second-largest Microsoft acquisition after LinkedIn. Nuance is a market leader in speech recognition and transcription for healthcare and other applications worldwide.<\/p>\n

Nuance was an early spinoff of SRI\u2019s Speech Technology and Research (STAR) Laboratory, a world leader in audio processing, speech and speaker analytics and spoken language research. The technology that served as the foundation of Nuance\u2019s speech recognition solution started at the STAR Lab and helped launch Nuance more than 20 years ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cSRI is proud to have been a part of Nuance\u2019s history and commends their achievements in the decades since. We want to wish them the best on the next stage of this journey as part of Microsoft,\u201d said Todd Stavish, Vice President and Managing Director of SRI Ventures. \u201cThe technology driving more accurate conversational speech understanding continues to evolve as AI and machine learning are being applied in new and innovative ways. Those early lessons we learned working with the Nuance team continue to guide us today as STAR develops new technology that forms the core of new audio-and speech-related spinoffs backed by SRI Ventures.\u201d<\/p>\n

Building on the success of SRI spinoffs like Nuance and Siri, SRI Ventures continues to create technology startups that pioneer new applications in the space of audio and language understanding. Decoded Health<\/a> has developed the world\u2019s first Virtual Medical Resident, which uses AI and natural language processing to assist with patient intake, gathering information about symptoms and medical history to save physicians\u2019 time in making a diagnosis. Curie AI<\/a> uses technology developed by the SRI STAR Lab to recognize and analyze symptoms relating to respiratory disease. OTO Systems<\/a>, another SRI spinoff, applies AI for spoken language processing to assess customer sentiment to improve customer service and reduce churn.<\/p>\n
