VERBEX ANNOUNCES SERIES OF CONTINUOUS SPEECH INTERFACES FOR NINE LEADING
SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS

Application Interfaces Include Microsoft Office (Word, Mail, Excel,
Powerpoint); WordPerfect; Aldus Pagemaker; Asymetrix Compel, Corel Draw;
AutoCAD for Windows 

PC EXPO, NEW YORK, Booth # 246--June 29, 1993-- Interaction with commonly
used computer software is about to be dramatically enhanced. After more
than a decade of developing field-proven speech solutions, Verbex Voice
Systems, Inc. (Edison, N.J.) has launched a series of continuous speech
interfaces for the software industry's most popular applications.
Continuous speech is the most natural and accurate computer interface and
offers laymen and non-typists the opportunity to garner the greatest
benefit from computer technology. Included in the new series of
announcements are speech interfaces for Microsoft Office (Word, Mail,
Excel, Powerpoint), WordPerfect, Aldus Pagemaker, Asymetrix Compel, Corel
Draw, and AutoCAD for Windows. The application interfaces enable command,
control, navigation and data entry by speaking in words, or complete
sentences or phrases. The more simplified, accurate and faster interface
raises the performance of the application to its highest level.

We have reached the final step in developing end user products," said, Jeff
Helthall, Verbex's director of marketing. "We were careful to ensure that
our speech technology was accurate, versatile and natural, thus we
demanded field proven results over and over again. The outcome of this
tremendous effort is a series of speech interfaces that unrestrictively
provide a more productive and enjoyable bridge to the industry's most
popular applications."

Verbex is also presently offering a Listen for Windows Power User's and
Speech Developers Kit (SDK) so developers can independently create their
own speech ready applications. The kit comes complete with the Speech
Commander DSP co-processor board which is ISA-bus compatible, a noise
cancelling microphone and complete documentation. Also included is Respond
for Windows, a high-fidelity digitized speech response developer's
software kit. The combined package is specially priced at $695 until
September 1, 1993. 

"This is just the beginning of new products available from Verbex. Hundreds
of speech ready applications will be available from Verbex and a host of
developers and ISV's who recognize the advantages of continuous speech.
Unlike other products on the market today, Verbex's interfaces truly work
and respond to a user's voice with speed and accuracy," Helthall added. 

Verbex's family of speech interfaces will be available separately or
bundled together in different speech value packs to suit the needs of
various users. Each of the interfaces is language independent and
recognizes a users voice regardless of dialect or accent. Speech Value
Packs (SVP) will be available in August 1993 and will start at $99.95.
