Thursday March 26, 3:57 pm Eastern Time Company Press Release SOURCE: Accent Software International Ltd. Accent Software Enters into OEM Agreement with One of Europe's Leading Software Retailers 100,000+ Units of Accent's Wordpoint(TM) Real-Time Interactive Translator and Accent Duo to be Bundled by MediaMarkt in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., March 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Accent Software International (Nasdaq: ACNTF - news and ACNUF - news) today announced that MediaMarkt, one of Europe's leading sellers of computers and software, has agreed to bundle WordPoint(TM) and Accent Duo. WordPoint is the company's real time interactive dictionary for the bi-directional translation of English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, and Dutch. Accent Duo combines in one integrated application Accent's award-winning multilingual word processing with an interactive machine translation tool licensed from Globliuk, Inc. According to Herb Zlotogorski, vice president of business development, MediaMarkt will bundle at least 100,000 copies of WordPoint and Accent Duo with computers it will distribute throughout Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. ''We are glad to add MediaMarkt to our growing list of hardware OEMs who see Accent's innovative language solutions as a means of adding value to their product offerings,'' stated Zlotogorski. WordPoint, the first version of which was released in September 1997, can be used to dynamically translate words appearing in virtually any application running under Windows 95. A user can see the meaning of words on the Web, in word processing documents, presentations and by simply pointing the mouse cursor at the word to be translated. WordPoint, using Accent's patent pending Screen-Text recognition technology, causes the translation of the word to appear in an on-screen bubble immediately visible to the user. Users for whom, for example, English is a second language can benefit from WordPoint's translation power to better understand and comprehend content written in English. Users who prefer to use French, Italian, German, Dutch or Spanish will find WordPoint an invaluable tool for their daily computing needs. As a non-OEM product, WordPoint is available for downloading from Accent's web site for $29.95. Visit Accent's Web site: www.accentsoft.com.
