Makes Speech Recognition Standard in Telephony Systems; Cutting-Edge System Increases User Convenience, Speed ABERDEEN, N.J., Nov. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- iVoice.com, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: IVOC - news), a manufacturer of voice and computer telephony systems, today announced that its Vision 2001 Voice Mail system will now include speech recognition as a standard feature. iVoice.com is the first telephony company to include speech recognition at no additional cost. iVoice.com's system utilizes the voice recognition technology of Entropic which has recently been acquired by Microsoft (MSFT). iVoice.com has a long-term license agreement to use the Entropic technology. ''Vision 2001 with speech recognition makes navigating through a phone system uniquely simple, effective and inexpensive,'' said Jerry Mahoney, Chief Executive Officer of iVoice.com. Using the system, any company can improve and speed up service for its customers by allowing them to merely say the name of the department or individual they wish to contact. The speech recognition system is extremely accurate and reliable. Studying the keypad in an attempt to find letters associated with names is no longer necessary. The customer says the name and is connected without fumbling with the handset. Vision 2001 is available for DOS or Windows 95/NT based systems and operates as an Auto Attendant, Voice Mail system. In addition to the standard speech recognition function, the Vision 2001 system includes a variety of features. Vision 2001 can maintain up to 10,000 voice mail boxes and has an automated receptionist which answers calls immediately and gives callers a fast way of routing their call either to a specific party, department or to a system operator. The Vision 2001 Audio Bulletin Board allows companies to post information on their voice system and have it accessible through an automated menu. A ''Reach Out Caller'' feature, enables the phone system to make a series of calls to customers as a reminder or promotional service; this feature also allows the company to receive responses. The system can be customized to any corporations' requirements, and can even be set up to resemble other call-processing systems, therefore, an operator will not have to be retrained. The cost of the Vision 2001 four-port system remains at $6,999 and the 24-port system also remains at $29,810. iVoice.com, designs, manufactures and markets innovative voice and computer telephony communications systems for small and mid-size businesses and corporate departments. The company provides Interactive Voice Response (IVR) products that allow information in PC databases to be accessed from a standard touch-tone telephone. iVoice.com's products are designed to be ''people oriented,'' with features that can be readily used without special training or manuals. The company's principal products, Visions 2001 and IVT Insight, incorporate this philosophy. The company sells its products through dealer and reseller channels, as well as through OEM agreements with some of the largest telecommunications and networking companies.
