Microsoft has now made a $19.7 billion purchase of voice-tech company Nuance

Microsoft just closed a $19.7 billion takeover of Nuance Communications. Nuance Communications is a speech-tech company that previously was behind Apple Siri. Microsoft announced this acquisition last April and cleared the final regulatory barrier this week.

Nuance CEO Mark Benjamin will stay at their position, But they will now have to report to Microsoft Cloud and AI Executive Vice President Scott Guthrie. Does this mean we can see a glorified version of Cortana or something better now? We never know, but we think Microsoft is planning to do something with this acquisition.

If you’ve been following the recent news, you might have heard that Microsoft is really at a very high point in acquiring many other companies right now. This is another Acquisition after they struck a massive deal proposing a $68.7 billion takeover of Activision Blizzard. We can see how Microsoft is now capitalizing on the gaming market, and they are also hoping to capitalize on the AI market.
