SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Fonix® Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: FONX - news), a leading provider of natural-user interface for wireless and mobile devices, Internet and telephony systems, and vehicle telematics, today announced that they are participating in the official launch of the new Microsoft Windows-Powered Pocket PC 2002 Software. Fonix speech applications for the Pocket PC incorporate Fonix industry-leading Text-To-Speech (TTS) and highly-accurate Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR). As part of the launch and subsequent events, Fonix will be promoted by Microsoft to millions of Pocket PC 2002 users as a premier speech solution to enable applications that utilize the benefits of the Pocket PC 2002.
Fonix will unveil its compelling speech applications for the Pocket PC 2002 that port to the Intel® StrongARM 1110 processor. Fonix speech solutions enable quick and easy access to Pocket PC applications using simple voice commands. As a particular Fonix application will show, the ability to use voice saves time and simplifies the process of navigating through the touch screen without the user having to take his eyes off of the road to look at the screen, or her hands off of the wheel to touch the stylus to a specific icon.
``Pocket PC 2002 has a great advantage in the marketplace because it is designed to be the most connected and expandable PDA available,'' said Andy Haon, Director of Product Planning for the Mobility Division at Microsoft Corp. ``We are pleased that Fonix is taking advantage of the new feature functionalities of Pocket PC 2002 with its availability of TimeTalk for Pocket PC and TimeTalk Alert, among other applications, that will enhance user productivity.''

Our compelling applications enhance device usability and enable all users of the platform to access information in a more intuitive way,'' said Kurt Flygare, Fonix vice president of sales. ``Fonix TimeTalk for Pocket PC has proven to be a viable solution in our test markets, as has TimeTalk Alert. We are looking forward to developing further enhancements to existing Fonix applications that will benefit the time-sensitive user.''
TimeTalk Alert is a personal productivity tool that integrates seamlessly with the calendar to verbally announce upcoming appointments and important tasks as specified by the user. Time Talk for Pocket PC announces the current time, at intervals set by the user, in a female voice that is indistinguishable from an actual human voice.
