Interlink Network Systems is currently in the process of integrating iVoice's Speech Recognition into its TxIVR IVR product. The TxIVR product, which can be tailored to most kinds of IVR applications using XML scripting, can now be Voice Activated. The TxIVR is a highly scalable standards based IVR that helps large Call Centers to automate routine questions and inquiries, which drives down call volume, operational costs and improves agent productivity.

IVoice's Speech SDK now provides the capability to continuously analyze incoming speech input, transforming the existing speech model to enable it to handle customized speaker models. The models produced by this capability compensates for speaker accents, telephone line quality, and background noise at the customer site, thereby boosting recognition accuracy. As the model aligns itself to the customer environment, speed of recognition per channel is greatly increased. The entire process is automated and the models generated load themselves into the system without any user interaction. The adaptation process can be performed any number of times to re-train the system if the above conditions change. Over a period of time, the trained model results in much faster and exceptional speech recognition accuracy at the customer end.

IVoice's Speech SDK also includes a channel tuning tool that is an iterative data analysis and performance improvement tool for gathering and analyzing speech input over phone lines. The tool is designed to eliminate the time consuming manual process of examining the quality and volume of sound at the client site. It calculates and adjusts settings on both the sound processing hardware and the speech engine.

Speech technology applications range from call centers to cell phones. Speech recognition solutions -- providing enhanced self-service to customer care centers -- have proven their ROI payback. As mobile and wireless devices proliferate, speech is poised to enter this market as a viable interface solution. Research firm ABI projects that the speech technology market will grow in revenues from $677 million in 2002 to $5.3 billion by 2008.

MATAWAN, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 6, 2004--iVoice, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: IVOC - News), a leader in speech recognition technology, today announced today it has received United States Patent 6,671,354 for a patent for a Speech-Enabled Automatic Telephone Dialer without the need for a PBX. This technology uses a seamless interface with computer based address book programs such as Microsoft® Outlook®. "iVoice will be offering the opportunity for companies to procure the rights to the technology under licensing agreements under which iVoice would receive compensation on a royalty basis" said Jerry Mahoney, of iVoice, Inc.
"The grant of this patent is centrally important to iVoice, Inc. not only to defend its technology but also to leverage offensively in the marketplace" added Mr. Mahoney. "We believe that any name dialer solution sufficient to satisfy the minimum customer requirements will require either a license from us under one or more of our patents or many years of research and development in search of an alternative solution" he furthered.

With the worldwide explosion in the usage of mobile phones, clients are seeking easier and more convenient ways of accessing information and conducting business. Speech-enabled solutions such as the iVoice Name Dialer help meet this demand -- enabling users to stay connected to the people and information they need, when and where they need it. Speech Enabled enhanced services can also benefit telecommunications carriers by helping them provide value-added services to their customer base.

The present invention is a speech enabled automatic telephone dialer device, system, and method using a spoken name corresponding to name/telephone number data of computer-based address book programs. The Speech Enabled Name Dialer imports all of the names and telephone numbers from your existing Microsoft Outlook, ACT, Gold Mine or other contact management software and can automatically connect you with anyone you ask for. You simply pick up the phone, tell the Name Dialer the name of the person you want to contact, and the Name Dialer finds the telephone number and dials for you. All of your contacts are made available by name or number, at anytime, from anyplace.
