Nuance Communications reportedly in talks with Samsung

Nuance Communications known for its speech recognition solution and popular Android keyboard, Swype, is possibly in discussion to sell off the company. The Wall Street Journal report claims Nuance has been in talks with Samsung and other private-equity firms. However, one important thing to note is that their sources are not able to confirm the timeline, which means the talks could be preliminary, in advanced stages or could be shelved altogether.

Nuance’s solutions are used in Samsung handsets, tablets and even used by other industry players like Apple, Panasonic, Nintendo.
