Nuance Communications VSuite 3 and XT9 Smart Input products are both embedded on the Samsung Memoir from T-Mobile.
VSuite enables voice commands while XT9 offers predictive test. The voice commands start off with saying "Go to"
- "Go to Web" opens 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.
XT9 allows users to 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.
"Voice recognition and predictive text are becoming a core component
of the various mobile handsets brought to market as a way to elevate
the user experience, and bring consumers' favorite applications and
services closer to the surface," said Michael Thompson, senior vice
president and general manager, Nuance Mobile. "VSuite takes voice
recognition capabilities way beyond calling contacts. Users can browse
the Web, find new ringtones, and discover a cool mobile game. And the
same can be said for XT9 in making text input for messaging and
browsing easier and faster. The possibilities for today's mobile
devices are endless."
The latest version of Nuance's VSuite 3 framework allows users to
leverage simple commands that engage connected services that support

and Web search, and give OEMs the ability to build and deploy custom
