Does EFAX or JFAX use the GMGC product? Would they be considered competition?

Seconds Out, Although I am still on the edge of my seat regarding GMGC, I thought it was interesting that GMGC is now officially looking at foreign countries to extend their myTalk services. I found the first site below while in the help area of myTalk. I decided to go back and look at the different languages offered by Nuance and Speechworks. I highlighted the different languages offered by the two companies. Does anybody have a good logical guess as to where GMGC may be looking in regards to what country (s)? One's imagination could lead you to many countries in the world but only a few stick out in my mind. They are Japan (due to the "possible" relationship with NTT and articles I have read concerning Japan's desire to access the web through wireless means) and other Asian countries such as Taiwan (see Speechworks PR dated 11/17) and Singapore (I will include Hong Kong although I realize it isn't a country:)). There are other possibilities, but as I stated, "one's imagination could lead us to virtually every continent in the world." I know there are many considerations which include building a NOC, costs, and time involved in implementing the service. If anyone has any thoughts please feel free to respond. I will stop rambling again. Take care. Kurt mytalk.com The myTalk service is, at this time, available only within the United States of America, but we are looking into extending this service to other countries. Stay tuned for exciting developments in this area. nuance.com Nuance currently supports the following languages: North American English UK English Australian English Brazilian Portuguese Japanese North and Latin American Spanish German Canadian French European French Swedish speechworks.com This is a PR concerning the adoption of Speechworks' VR engine in Taiwan for Mandarin Chinese. speechworks.com SpeechWorks supports Spanish for Latin America, French for Europe and Canada; Mandarin, Cantonese, German, Brazilian Portugese; English for the US, UK, Australia, Hong Kong, and Singapore. Soon we'll add: Japanese, Italian, European Spanish.
