Second generation of program that attracted 4,000 iOS and Android developers first time round.
Nuance launched phase one in January as a rallying call to developers to embed its Dragon speech-recognition tech in their apps.
It ended up voice-enabled apps including Siri, Price Check by Amazon, Ask for iPhone, Merriam-Webster, Dictionary.com and many others.
Now, with NDEV mark 2, Nuance says it's adding new services that make it easier than ever for developers to voice-enable their products.
The Dragon Mobile SDK now supports Windows Phone 7 in addition to Android and iOS, as well as an HTTP web services interface and eight new languages for voice recognition.
The programme features three new service tiers – Silver, Gold, and Emerald – with features as follows:
