Nuance Unveils OmniPage Professional 16,
Making Paper and PDF Conversion More Valuable to More People than Ever Before

World’s Best Selling OCR and Document Conversion Software Delivers Unrivalled Accuracy, Ease-of-Use and Innovative Features – Using Your Scanner, Multi-Function Peripheral (MFP) and Digital Camera

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, 22 November 2007 – Nuance Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUAN), a leading provider of speech and imaging solutions, today introduced OmniPage® Professional 16, the newest version of the world’s best-selling and most accurate optical character recognition (OCR) and document conversion application for Microsoft Windows. With the best document conversion accuracy, breakthrough three-dimensional (3D) digital camera capture technology and amazing speed advances, OmniPage Professional 16 is the easiest way to edit, share and store paper, PDF and electronic documents.

Its high accuracy and patented innovations have made OmniPage Professional the world’s best-selling desktop OCR application for years. The new release of OmniPage Professional strengthens the heart of OCR by delivering a 27 percent increase in document conversion accuracy and speed increases of up to 46 percent. Better still, Nuance has integrated its newest technology to take advantage of today’s pervasive dual-core processors to deliver an amazing 97 percent speed improvement when comparing OmniPage 15 on a single core system – making OmniPage 16 up to 50 percent more accurate and more than 46 percent faster than alternatives.

“I think we’ve all recognized that paper documents are not going away anytime soon, and they continue to create significant business and productivity challenges when compared to electronic documents,” said Ralph Gammon, editor and publisher, Document Imaging Report. “With OmniPage 16, Nuance shows that OCR and document conversion can be applied in new ways to overcome these challenges. Increased speed and accuracy, a simplified user interface, enhanced forms capabilities, XPS and Office 2007 support – all of these features cement Nuance’s status as a leader in the document capture market. OmniPage continues to offer real value and time savings benefits to organizations of all sizes.”

Because of its accuracy and ease of use, millions have selected OmniPage over alternatives to replace manual document conversion with an automated approach, saving time and overcoming the high costs associated with traditional paper processes. Organizations large and small turn to OmniPage to automate the paper-to-digital conversion and archiving of every kind of document – including letters, contracts, spreadsheets, magazine articles, research reports, technical manuals and more.

“The new release of OmniPage delivers powerful document capture and conversion capabilities that are particularly valuable to users of Windows Vista, the 2007 Microsoft Office system and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007,” said Gray Knowlton, group product manager for the Office Group at Microsoft Corp. “Supporting the Ecma Open XML file formats and XPS will help users capture and exchange information in open formats – an important step forward in enabling interoperability.”

“With OmniPage Professional 16, Nuance has significantly improved the core features that matter most within OCR products – accuracy, speed and application support,” said Bob Anderson, regional director – Asia Pacific, Nuance Productivity Applications. “More impressive are the robust set of new features, such as 3D Capture for digital cameras and scan-to-redact capabilities, which make OmniPage more valuable to existing users – and more compelling to an even broader audience.”

Mark Gill, managing director of ACA Pacific said “We are committed to partnering with best-in-class companies to help solve important customer problems. By partnering with a leading company like Nuance, we bring together Nuance’s strength in OCR technology with ACA Pacific’s distribution expertise to offer leading-edge imaging solutions for businesses and consumers in Malaysia.”
