About e-DOCS.net
e-DOCS.net recently launched its flagship system, VoiceCOMMANDER 99, the technology
leading, Internet-driven solution for physicians burdened with increasing regulatory and payor
demands for accurate and timely documentation of patient encounters. The VoiceCOMMANDER
99 Handheld Digital Recorder enables doctors to freely dictate their patient notes anywhere, anytime
-- from the hospital, to the clinic, to the car.
The VoiceCOMMANDER 99 secure e-commerce medical transcription service utilizes the Internet
and proprietary voice recognition technology to pre-process doctor's dictation into written text. It
then encrypts and transmits both the doctor's original voice recording and the un-edited text via the
Internet to the e-DOCS.net server. The editing process is completed and reviewed by e-DOCS.net
transcriptionists who return an accurate, re-encrypted, fully edited e-document to the doctor in 24
hours or less. VoiceCOMMANDER 99 will be implemented into e-DOCS.net's growing network
of transcription companies to provide a common technology and operations platform, which should
result in substantial savings to physicians and the Company.

information and their impact on future results. Actual results could differ materially from those
projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of risk factors such as market conditions,
product life cycles, customer delays in purchasing products, technology shifts, potential difficulties in
introducing new products, competition, price sensitivity and the uncertainty of continuing market
acceptance of the Company's products by distributors, retailers and consumers.
