Recently, Apple has made quite move which would definitely be helping them to advance their personal assistant Siri. Yes Apple announced that they will acquire the voice analysis pioneer flagship company called Novauris Technologies, which just get separated by Dragon Systems from UK.  Novauris begin to work in March 2002 after separating from Dragon System. Company founded by Jim baker started his work on self funding and originally owned it, but then Bridle and Hunt join him with a little help with internal investment.

TechCrunch Posted “Novauris had been developing its own large-vocabulary, automatic speech recognition (ASR) technology for access to information stored locally on mobile devices or remotely on servers, which they patented in the U.S. and abroad, and licensed to major corporations worldwide. One of the biggest differentiators about Novauris in terms of the competitive landscape is that they operated in both the embedded and server space, and they also owned the core engine. This of course would make them a valuable asset for Apple, which had tried to acquire Nuance, the technology that powers Apple’s Siri – a partnership that has long been known, but only officially confirmed last year.”
