Ahmed,

Are you still on deck? Some very exciting news about our company on the CURCIT news site on the web:

Nov 3/97:

Oki Electric Industry in Tokyo introduced for worldwide, rather than in Japan only, marketing "two
new speech synthesis large-scale integrated circuits (LSI)," the MSM9842 and MSM9841, for in-vehicle
car navigation systems and interactive speech applications. The '9842 LSI is a playback-only device,
most suited to the car systems that do not need recording functions; the '9841 is a recording/playback
device targeted for "next-generation digital video cameras, voice memo products, and other interactive
speech applications." These Oki devices allows systems in which they are integrated to draw from
speech data storage devices, such as CD-ROMs or DVDs. Device characteristics include: Oki speech
synthesis via 4-bit ADPCM and 4- to 8-bit ADPCM2, with 8- or 16-bit PCM and 8-bit non-linear PCM
algorithms selectable; 16- and 8-bit parallel bus CPU interface; 1024-bit FIFO buffer memory and
external DMA control for processing at the CPU; the claimed industry's first on-chip 14-bit A-to-D or
D-to-A conversion using two respective channels; and volume control circuits allowing 0 to -21dB
attenuation with eight programmable internals for each channel. Samples of the '9841 start shipping this
month and the '9842 next month. Evaluation kits for both will be available this year, it was said.

I am quite certain that's our software on OKI's chip!

Still holding, art
