At the Mobile World Congress Nuance announced a special trial edition of T9 Nav, a mobile discovery solution that provides a fast way to access all features, applications and content on a mobile device in just a few key presses. T9 Nav is simple and powerful mobile discovery software that significantly improves the mobile user experience by allowing users to bypass button-driven menu systems which often require complex combinations of key presses, offering a fast, direct and repeatable way to access features and content on the phone. It intelligently adapts to user behaviour over time, reordering and predicting frequently searched terms using the industry leading, patented algorithms from XT9/T9 software.
T9 Nav customisable keyword feature
This ‘Barcelona Edition’ of T9 Nav showcases the basic functionality and customisable keyword feature of the software in a way that is relevant and useful to anyone attending Mobile World Congress. Show delegates can easily find exhibitor information including booth locations, maps, key contacts and product/service descriptions as well as information about Barcelona such as listings for restaurants, hotels, and tourist information by simply typing in the first few letters of whatever they are looking for. The Barcelona Edition is available in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese.

Using T9 Nav is extremely easy: for example typing “m-u” (i.e., “6-8″) from the home screen of the phone takes the user directly to the music player application, a link to information on Barcelona museums and the Nuance Communications exhibitor listing as well as other device features, content and applications beginning with those letters. T9 Nav also adapts to user behaviour over time to provide customised search results based on frequently accessed features and content.
Nuance T9 Nav software
Says Eric Collins, General Manager for Nuance’s T9 Business Unit: ‘Nuance Mobile Solutions make it easier to control mobile devices, automate customer services, and access and discover even the most advanced mobile applications and content - regardless of technical know-how, location, environment or physical and literacy capabilities. By offering T9 Nav as a trial download at the show, Nuance provides a sneak peek at the power and potential of this software to simplify and enhance the way millions of people worldwide use their phone, making mobile content, information and services accessible in just a few clicks.’
