Nuance and RIM cooperation

We planned to make a small research as to usage of ASR/TTS on Blackberry.

According to the recent information there is a cooperation between Nuance and RIM ongoing to deliver in the next year a common solution, like TTS to get the incoming emails be read aloud or using voice commands working with calendar, dialling or whatsoever.

I'm looking forward to what comes in the next year. But I'm glad that RIM at last recognized the necessity of delivering a voice recognition / text-to-speech solution for Blackberry. I hope that the Blackberry Java API will be extended to provide support for these new features also in custom made applications.
