It’s only been about a year since Nuance traced Swype’s finger gliding input method with QuickType, but it seems like the firm is ready for the real deal: Michael Arrington says it’s nabbing the Seattle-based startup to the tune of $100 million. With competition heating up in the voice command space after Apple’s Siri assisted iPhone upgrade, Nuance could be stocking up on more traditional input methods, or at the very least edging out the potential for more competition. There’s no word just yet if Swype will replace or fade away in lieu of the firm’s own traceable input brand, but we’ll be sure to let you know if we hear something official.
