Nuance Communications, Inc., a leading provider of speech and imaging solutions, recently announced that its legal technology solutions once again topped their respective categories in the 2011 International Legal Technology Association (ILTA) Technology Survey.

For document scanning and workflow, Nuance eCopy ShareScan was ranked as the #1 software, maintaining its top ranking in every ILTA Technology Survey that has tracked the category.
