The Audium team will remain unchanged and will continue to pursue an aggressive business development strategy to deliver world-class voice applications to carriers, enterprises, and web-enabled businesses.

"We consider Audium to be a leader in the VoiceXML development space, and an important partner for our company," said Stuart Berkowitz, CEO of VoiceGenie.

Gerüchte aus America zu Fonix Corp.




FONX Longs...

I have been sitting on my FONX shares since April of last year. The launch time will come with increased revenues in Q3 and Q4. The conference call left alot of questions unanswered.

The REAL money to be made short term is with IBUI. A poster stated that they are about to release a PR by the end of this week or beginning of next week on their Gaiacomm technology. This will revolutionize wireless communication and be the best alternative to cell phones. The website is www.Gaiacomm.com. Check it out. The stock is selling for less than .06 and will rocket on this news. It will hopefully carry them to the Nasdaq and out of this OTCBB sector. You will need to get in before next week if a PR hits.

While I have a good position in FONX, my majority stake is in IBUI. It has been my plan to sell a few shares on the run up and load up on FONX at this ridiculous price. My dreams are about to come true.

Action now...thank me later.

Peace.

Fonix: TimeTalk
TimeTalk ist ein kleines Software-Utility, das am Pocket PC mit einer angenehmen Stimme die Zeit vorliest.

TimeTalk für den Pocket PC ist ein kleines Programm, das die Fonix Text-to-Speech (TTS) Technologie nutzt. User können sich damit auf nette Art und Weise von einer angenehmen Frauenstimme die Uhrzeit auf Englisch vorlesen lassen - und zwar immer dann, wenn sie es hören wollen. Beispielsweise zu jeder vollen Stunde, oder vor einem Termin, oder wann auch immer. Wenn mal die Stimme nicht notwendig ist, so lässt sich die Uhrzeit auch - dargestellt in großen, gut lesbaren Zahlen - am Bildschirm ablesen.
Selbstverständlich haben wir TimeTalk auch gleich selbst getestet. Unsere Meinung: Eine nette Spielerei um ein paar Dollar. Schön wäre beispielsweise, wenn TimeTalk eine separate Lautstärkenregelung hätte. Denn wenn man die Lautstärke nicht voll aufdreht, versteht man fast kein Wort.
Würde als Freeware sicherlich mehr Absatz finden.

Neue infos aus America zu Fonix



La_Vie, Fonix has stated that the Fonix ASR is not commercially available right now. Could it be that they are waiting for it to be massed produced by Intel on the xscale (embedded on this chip)? Fonix has talked about wanting to get costs down and Intel has xscale, mass chip production capability, and has a close working relationship with Fonix. Just wondering what your thoughts are.TIA
