Nuance will provide its technology
For Microsoft, this purchase is another important step. It wants to integrate Nuance technology and thus develop its cloud services, especially this component in the health field. These two companies already collaborated in 2019 on a project to digitize medical data.
This has yet to be confirmed by the regulatory authorities, which should happen by the end of the year. If this purchase materializes, it will be Microsoft's second largest company. In 2016, the software giant bought the social media network LinkedIn for $ 26 billion.
A purchase focused on improving Microsoft's offerings
Nuance is a company dedicated to artificial intelligence and well-known products. He was the creator of the Swype Keyboard and it was its technology that fueled the creation of Apple Siri. Of course, there is another text recognition program, like Dragon.
There is still a long way to go to make this purchase official, but everything appears to be settled between the two companies. This should be incorporated into Microsoft's architecture and all of its technologies will certainly be used to increase the software giant's offer further.
