Industry-Wide Technology Awards By Speech
Technology Magazine
SALT LAKE CITY, July 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Speech Technology Magazine
announced today that Fonix® Corporation received three of its Peak
Performance Awards, a program designed to recognize the products, services or
innovations of speech technology companies whose efforts have propelled the
industry to the forefront of technological innovations in communications.
Two awards were presented in each of 12 categories -- an Editors' Choice
Award, representing the votes of the magazine's editorial staff, columnists,
contributing writers and industry experts, and a Readers' Choice Award voted
by the worldwide readership of Speech Technology Magazine. Almost 300
nominations were received and voted upon via the magazine's Web site at
www.speechtechmag.com.
Voted a Readers' Choice winner in each category, Fonix received recognition in
the Text-To-Speech (large vocabulary) category, the Text-To-Speech (small
vocabulary) category for the multiple integrations of its high-quality
Text-To-Speech engines, and the Innovative Speech Solution category for the
Talking Caller ID solution in the Panasonic 2.4 GHz GigaRange® Elite
Cordless Telephone.
Reflecting the explosive growth in land-based and wireless speech
communications -- from mobile phones to speech-enabled computers and
Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) -- The Kelsey Group, a New York-based
financial analyst organization, projects that worldwide spending and revenues
from speech applications and the Voice Web will reach $41 billion by 2005.
``Winners of our Peak Performance Awards represent the 'best of the best' in
their categories and are primarily responsible for the great strides that speech
technology is making in the global marketplace,'' said John Kelly, Speech
Technology Magazine's publisher and editor-in-chief.

and small companies whose work is revolutionizing the way the world
