General Magic, Inc. CEO Steve Markman Talks to The Wall S B: General Magic, Inc. CEO Steve Markman Talks to The Wall Street Transcript NEW YORK, Jun 29, 1999 (BUSINESS WIRE via COMTEX) -- The Wall Street Transcript has published an in-depth interview with Steve Markman of General Magic, Inc. (Nasdaq:GMGC), in which he talks at length about his company's future. He says, "General Magic is in the business of voice-enabled services, and we're building a market for those services. We are making it possible for people to access important information - electronic content, for example, as well as personal information like e-mail and voice-mail - all by using their own voice. We focus our core competencies in user interfaces on creating a verynatural language user interface. It allows people to either use the computer or pick up a phone and have access to all of their important information." He explains, "On June 15, we introduced myTalk, a free Web service that lets consumers access and respond to e-mail messages over the phone using a toll-free number." He states, "We've also launched a technology we call Kenya, which is voice-agent technology. You can literally use this voice-agent technology to do things on your behalf without being connected at all. The agent will watch over the Internet for you, and when important things happen, it will pick up the phone and call you." Looking forward, he states, "We're in the middle of what's clearly going to be a very hot market. We are in a unique position of having unique technologies that are very, very hard to duplicate. We are already the acknowledged leader in this area. And so, deals are going to be coming our way." To read the complete interview, go to twst.com.
