Nuance and ZTE annouce multi-year collaboration on voice-enabled Android devices

ZTE and Nuance have entered into another multi-year deal for voice activated services on ZTE devices. This time around, though, we'll see a larger focus on in-car services using ZTE's yet to be released Car Mode app -- which will be available in more than 25 languages at launch. Like most in-car setups the focus is of course remaining safe while driving but not giving up the interaction with the services on your mobile you've come to love. Using Nuance's stellar voice to text magic drivers will have access to text messages, calling features and music control without the need for a data connection. Car mode is activated with a wake-up word at which point you'll be assailed with a soft spoken barrage of information from your set without requiring eyes or fingers-on to get tasks done. Users can quickly interrupt any current command or incoming audio as well as put the system in a "do not disturb" mode if you just need a little peace til you arrive at your destination. Car Mode will come pre-installed on ZTE sets shipping this year.
