Nuance Acquires PerSay

PerSay, long recognized as one of the leaders in the voice biometrics space, was acquired by Nuance Communications, Inc. late last year. In an article on tmcnet.com, Chuck Buffum, Vice President of Authentication for Nuance is quoted as saying “PerSay’s voice biometrics products are currently in use across a range of applications, including remote transactions via contact centers and the Internet, password reset, offender monitoring, voice mining, and time and attendance. Together, the companies can accelerate the growth and adoption of the emerging voice biometrics market segment.”

I wish Almog, Ariel and the rest of the PerSay team the best of luck!
