One thing can be sure,now that Nuance has brought it,it would probably be diversifying out of the Android domain which is definite.Text prediction based on shape writing is a very useful software & a profitable app & for a million dollars it sounds like a pretty good investment.Nuance has been the makers of the world renowned Dragon dictation software & also powers the voice recognition software in LG & Samsung SmartPhones & also rumored to be a part of APple's Siri.Swype has a software keyboard designed to allow users to swipe their fingers across keys for faster typing.Now with more & more demands for Voice recognition softwares,it seems quite appropriate that Voice & text might take it to the next text.This comes a great news to Android industry after it has been intimidated by Apple's Siri,the artificial Intelligence.Although the voice recognition currently available might not be 100% efficiency,the ability to learn & verify a persons voice will have better implications in the near fututre.
