VoiceSignal Introduces First Continuous Dictation for Mobile Phones



VoiceMode(TM) 2.0 Enabled Mobile Phones from Top OEMs to Ship This Summer in Europe and the US

WOBURN, Mass., April 5 / -- VoiceSignal, the leading provider of speech interface solutions for mobile devices announced today that top mobile phone OEMs will begin shipping its continuous dictation solution this summer. The mobile world was shocked at CES 2005 with the introduction of Samsung handsets equipped with VoiceMode 1.0, the first ever dictation product capable of running in the tight memory and limited processors available in today's mobile phones. Following a tremendous market reception, Cingular, Verizon and Sprint now all carry VoiceMode(TM) 1.0 enabled handsets.

VoiceMode 2.0 delivers true large vocabulary, continuous dictation running entirely embedded in the mobile device. The device-only implementation offers significant advantages over server-based offerings that experience network related interruptions and delays. VoiceMode 2.0 is fast and accurate and can be used to input text into any application running in the mobile device including email, SMS, IM, calendar and more. Designed specifically for the limited memory of mass market phones, VoiceMode 2.0 is compact enough to enable handset manufacturers to deploy it in all phone segments from the entry level through smartphones.

"High performance continuous dictation from VoiceSignal will dramatically change the way people use text messaging on mobile devices. Dictation offers significant improvement in usability that will drive increased messaging volume and message length. Even for experienced texters, using the key pad is tedious and slow. Continuous dictation will be a major leap forward in mobile phone usability," said Neil Strother, Research Director of Mobile Devices, NPD Group.

VoiceSignal's portfolio of "no-training" embedded speech solutions include VSuite(TM), VSpeak(TM), and VoiceMode(TM). VoiceSignal solutions will ship on more than 100 million handsets through the end of 2006 making it the clear market leader. The solutions are used by market leading OEMs including Motorola, Nokia, Samsung, Palm, Pantech and others, and available on major networks such as Verizon, Cingular, Sprint, T-Mobile and Vodafone.
