Trippo VoiceMagix's unique functionality marks a fundamental shift in communication while travelling. With innovative speech technology powered by Nuance Communications, the app leverages the same core speech recognition behind the company's renowned Dragon Dictation and Dragon Search Apps for iPhone, as well as Nuance Vocalizer that enables text-to-speech translation readout.

"Cellictica's focus is to create a dynamic user experience through our practical and useful apps. With Trippo VoiceMagix we are exceeding even our own expectations in usability. Thanks to world-leading technologies from partners like Nuance, we are enabling magical moments for everyone," said Kimmo Sainio, CEO Cellictica.

"Through the Nuance Mobile Developer Program a growing number of app developers such as Cellictica are taking advantage of speech technology 'in the cloud' to bring to market innovative apps and services across a broad range of platforms and devices. Bringing speech-to-speech translation functionality to the masses represents a tremendous global market opportunity. Cellictica's innovative approach to language translation with the Trippo VoiceMagix app is solving a very timely need for today's increasingly global society," said Michael Thompson, senior vice president and general manager, Nuance Mobile.

Available for immediate download in the Apple App Store in the U.S., the Trippo VoiceMagix app currently supports U.S. English speech input as well as speech and text output for more than 20 languages including Chinese, Dutch, Hindi, Italian, French, Portuguese, Russian, German, Spanish, Thai and more.

And, Trippo Mondo, the previous generation translation app from Cellictica, has been downloaded close to two million times globally in more than 200 countries and garnered accolades such as the Samsung Developer Contest 2009 "Gold Award."
