LumenVox and Vocalocity Announce Solution Availability and Initial Customer, Voicesoft.

SAN DIEGO & ATLANTA -- LumenVox, a developer of speech recognition technologies and Vocalocity(R), a provider of standards-enabling software components and tools, announced a co-marketing initiative and the general availability of their integrated product solution.

Vocalocity's

application-ready Voice Browsers are VoiceXML 2.0 compliant and include packaged integrations to several speech and telephony resources. OEM and channel partners can easily extend and customize the Voice Browsers to match unique deployment requirements. LumenVox's Speech Recognition Engine (SRE) is a world class, low-level API available on both Windows and Linux platforms, is SRGS compliant and designed to slip into any application. The integration of the Vocalocity and LumenVox products opens the door for speech developers to cost-effectively create high-performance VoiceXML applications.

"This combined Vocalocity and LumenVox offering can be integrated within complete speech solutions very easily and cost effectively, and we believe it will trigger further acceleration in the adoption of speech and industry standards, like VoiceXML." said John Hibel, Vocalocity's Vice President of Marketing.

For Voicesoft (www.voicesoft.com), the solution's a successful choice. Voicesoft's popular platform for scheduling and automated customer self-service functions can now be offered in a wide range of speech-driven hosted and turnkey solutions that combine a supreme customer experience with backend scheduling and resource integration. "The LumenVox/Vocalocity solution allows us to rapidly deploy applications for our customers at a price point that makes the strongest business case possible for speech recognition," states Stephen Ward, CEO of Voicesoft. "This combined with the extensible architecture enables us to provide a VoIP platform uniquely appropriate to our customers' needs."

Numerous companies have signed on to deploy applications based on the LumenVox/Vocalocity solution. "The interest in this solution has exceeded our expectations," states Edward Miller, President of LumenVox. "We consider this solution a windfall for VoiceXML, speech recognition, and the general marketplace; as companies are requesting and requiring speech-enabled applications."
