The number of speech recognition companies not owned by Nuance continues to get smaller. There are still a few out there but most of the major players seem to 
have been scooped up over the last couple of years.
In addition in the news today someone became very rich, the CEO with sale of a lot of stock and he still owns over a couple million shares worth around $50 million. Meanwhile the company debt is around $900 million. I’m not an expert on what all that means, but the investor readers here can figure it out. Below are a couple of other recent Nuance acquisitions. I have covered most so if you want to see more just do a quick search using the Google custom search here. BD
