Nuance is much better with their software than other speech recognition system. Mnay applications for FSD systems and future applications for games, business and recreationin. MSFT is smart to jump on this. Positive for the stock.

How does nuance strengthen Microsoft business?
- ParableTalen:
  yea cortana didn't really take off compared to Google assistant and Siri
- tungngie:
  they are ending cortana in windows (remaining in ms office). nuance is working on better speech recognition. maybe a more powerful cortana is coming for govt and biz sectors? just off my thoughts. heh
