Needham & Company initiates coverage on Nuance Communications (NASDAQ: NUAN) with a Buy. PT $25.

Needham analyst says, "NUAN is a category leader in infrastructure software, specifically for speech recognition software used in consumer/mobile devices, and in customer care (call center) environments. After a focus for the last 12-18mos on the integration of several acquisitions, and on operating margin expansion, Nuance is now shifting its focus back to top-line revenue growth. We anticipate FY11-12 to show a combination of growth through organic efforts as well as growth by acquisition. It is our belief consensus revenue may be conservative, and may drive EPS expansion."
