Company Press Release
Registry Magic Joins AT&T, Lucent
and Motorola to Standardize Voice
Access to the Internet
Open Standard Can Allow Companies To Extend
Their Internet Reach to Anyone in the World With
a Voice and Telephone
BOCA RATON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 4, 1999--
Registry Magic® (Nasdaq:RMAG - news) announced it has
joined with AT&T (NYSE:T - news), Lucent Technologies
(NYSE:LU - news), and Motorola (NYSE:MOT - news) in the formation of the Voice eXtensible
Markup Language Forum (VXML Forum) to make the resources of the World Wide Web
accessible to anyone by speaking into a telephone.
The Forum aims to drive the market for voice- and phone-enabled Internet access by promoting a
standard specification for VXML, a computer language used to create Web content and services.
''The VXML initiative is a powerful step in establishing an industry standard in which Registry Magic
can provide companies with products and services to expand their Internet reach to anyone in the
world with a voice and telephone, not just those in front of a PC or with PC skills. Registry Magic is
excited to join forces with these industry leaders to standardize voice access to the Internet.'' said
Walt Nawrocki, CEO and President of Registry Magic.
Examples of VXML uses include allowing a salesperson to dial into a corporate intranet from any
phone and using conversational interaction to receive real-time order status information. Similarly,
users could access Web-based weather, sports or traffic information, banking transaction services,
and other electronic commerce applications without touching a computer keyboard.
''Just as standardization of HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) drove the adoption of traditional
Web applications, standardization of VXML will drive the adoption of voice-enabled applications,''
said Maria Martinez, vice president and general manager, Internet and Connectivity Solutions
Division (ICSD), Motorola, Inc. ''We are pleased to have Registry Magic join us in this initiative.''
Named a 'National Treasure' by the Smithsonian Institution, Registry Magic's Virtual Operator®
technology performs the tasks of a live employee using conversational speech recognition
technology. The recipient of many industry awards, the Virtual Operator is in use by both small and
Fortune 500 size companies alike in industries including finance, insurance, manufacturing,

other means.
