  > September 15, 2005 — ScanSoft acquired and merged with Nuance Communications, of Menlo Park, California, for $221 million. > October 18, 2005 — the company changed its name to Nuance Communications, Inc. So Nuance was worth ~$220MM at the time of acquisition. I'm sure it's worth a lot more now but ScanSoft acquired like 50 other companies too, including old voice recording giant Dictaphone.
