Product Featuring MicroOS Aids Speech-Impaired Students.
SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 29, 1998--Norris Communications Inc. (OTC: NCII - news) announced that it has received a follow-on order to supply daughterboards to ADAMLAB for their SuperHawk Voice Output Communication Aid (VOCA).

The order stems from a July 1997 development agreement between the two companies wherein Norris provides voice recording components for ADAMLAB.

Fred Falk, president and chief executive officer of Norris, stated, ''This reorder demonstrates our OEM strategy of developing innovative products employing our patented MicroOS(TM) and contracting for future revenues through royalties or manufacturing.

The recent $3 million order from Lanier Worldwide and the recently-announced Intel agreement fit this strategy as well.

Falk continued, ''We are very pleased to assist in bringing leading-edge technology to the benefit of speech-impaired children and adults.''

John Smallwood, Project Engineer for ADAMLAB, said, ''The technology provided by Norris dramatically increases SuperHawk's capacity and capabilities. We are receiving wonderful feedback from users and have seen increased demand for the system. The students who use the system are the real beneficiaries.''
