relating to the resale from time to time by certain selling stockholders of up to 10,565,272 shares
of common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of Nuance Communications, Inc.
(“Nuance,” or “we”), which Prospectus was filed as part of our Registration Statement on Form S-3
No. 333-147715. Nuance will not receive any proceeds from the sale or transfer of Common Stock by
the selling stockholders.
This Prospectus Supplement should be read in conjunction with the Prospectus and may not be
delivered or utilized without the Prospectus. This Prospectus Supplement is qualified by reference
to the Prospectus except to the extent that the information in this Prospectus Supplement
supersedes the information contained in the Prospectus.

OFFENSE.
SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
The table below supplements or amends the information in the table appearing under the heading
“Selling Stockholders” beginning on page S-21 of the Prospectus (as previously supplemented), by
adding the information below with respect to selling stockholders not previously listed in the
Prospectus or in any amendments or supplements thereto. The following table contains information
as of October 20, 2008 with respect to the selling stockholders listed below and the principal
amount of Common Stock beneficially owned by such selling stockholders that may be offered using
this Prospectus. The information is based on information provided to
us by or on behalf of the selling stockholders, and we have not independently verified this information. Information concerning the selling stockholders
may change from time to time and,
if necessary, we will amend or supplement the Prospectus accordingly.
Except as otherwise indicated, we believe that the selling stockholders have sole voting and
investment power with respect to all shares of Common Stock shown as beneficially owned by them.
In addition, all of the selling stockholders beneficially own less than 1% of our Common Stock
outstanding. Except as indicated, none of such selling stockholders has held any position or
office or had a material relationship with Nuance or any of its affiliates within the past three
years other than as a result of the ownership of our Common Stock.
