LITTLE ROCK, Ark. and BURLINGTON, Mass. – March 6, 2012 – Alltel Wireless and Nuance Communications (NASDAQ: NUAN) today announced that Nuance’s Dragon Voicemail to Text is powering Alltel’s Voice2Text service. With Voice2Text, mobile phones on the Alltel network can receive transcribed voice messages as text messages delivered directly to the subscribers’ message inbox.
“Carriers like Alltel need innovative voice services that meet the demands of dynamic mobile consumers,” said John Pollard, vice president and general manager, voice-to-text services, Nuance Mobile. “Dragon Voicemail to Text takes a must-have service like voicemail and delivers it with the speed and convenience required in today's messaging environment."
Alltel’s Voice2Text service greatly simplifies the voicemail experience.

Messages can be stored or forwarded, and subscribers can still hear the original voicemail recording if needed.
