FONX FINALLY SOME REAL NEWS: Fonix Corporation Demonstrates Interactive Speech Technology On the Siemens TriCore Microcontroller/DSP Architecture Fonix Technology will be Demonstrated at Three Shows in Early March SALT LAKE CITY, March 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Fonix Corporation (Nasdaq: FONX) today announced the successful implementation of Fonix interactive speech capability for the Siemens 32-bit TriCore Microcontroller/DSP chip. Fonix interactive speech technology includes the Company's neural net speech recognition and its natural synthetic speech. The speaker-independent, noise resistant speech recognition and high quality synthetic speech are designed for applications requiring voice commands and voice response in automotive and other consumer electronic products. "Using the Fonix core speech recognition technology and synthetic speech on the Siemens TriCore offers developers the means to create a wide variety of robust speech applications for our microcontroller. We believe that this provides the most powerful speech capability ever offered on a single chip," said Winfred Lotter, director of marketing for Siemens Microcontroller & DSP Core Marketing. Fonix interactive speech technology is accessible to developers of embedded systems applications on the TriCore chip through Fonix SDK (speech development toolkit). This toolkit includes a rapid application developer with a graphic user interface for design, prototyping, and automatic code generation. Siemens Microelectronics and Fonix are developing applications for Siemens' microprocessors and DSPs under a Master Collaboration Agreement signed in 1998. The collaboration also provides for products using Fonix technologies to be jointly developed by the two companies and marketed by Siemens. "Our collaboration has produced speech applications on Siemens 16 and 32-bit Microcontrollers," said Thomas A. Murdock, CEO of Fonix Corporation. "We look forward to demonstrating the benefits of our partnership with Siemens to its customers." Fonix speech technologies will be demonstrated in Siemens booths at three trade shows over the next several weeks. The demos will include the Fonix STK, a synthesized "talking clock" running on the Siemens C167, 16-bit single chip microcontroller, a multi-lingual, voice activated answering machine, and a custom speech tool kit for interactive automotive applications. The show schedule is as follows: -GSM World Congress, Cannes France, February 23-25; -Embedded Systems Show, Nuremberg, Germany, March 2-4; -Embedded Systems Show, Chicago, March 2-4.
