Advanced Speech Technology Company Offers Promotional E-mail by Phone

Service for Delivery with Simply Wireless Phones

Audiopoint, a leading speech applications technology company developing and hosting large scale commercial voice applications, and Simply Wireless, one of the nation's largest authorized dealers of AT&T Wireless and T-Mobile wireless service, today announced that they have signed an agreement to market Audiopoint's Voice Terminal Service to Simply Wireless' customers.

Under the terms of the alliance, Simply Wireless will distribute Voice Terminal Service promotional cards offering a 30-day trial with all phones mailed to new customers. This move further solidifies Audiopoint's position as the leading provider of voice-activated e-mail access for mobile users.

Commenting on the alliance, Brian Lichorowic, President and CEO of Audiopoint, said, "Offering Voice Terminal Service to Simply Wireless customers is a necessary step in continuing to show how far mainstream voice technology has come. Voice Terminal provides an important mobility solution for Simply Wireless customers by connecting people to their e-mail while commuting, traveling or when they are in an environment where more traditional forms of Internet access are either not possible or impractical."

Voice Terminal Service is a quick and easy way to get voice-activated access to e-mail from any phone, anywhere. Voice Terminal works with existing e-mail accounts to provide secure hands free access to important messages without the need for a computer or Internet connection. There's no need to change an e-mail service or create a new e-mail account. When users are back at their computer, they can check their e-mail just like they always do.

Voice Terminal 2.0 advanced features include the ability to listen to e-mail directly from an existing e-mail account inbox, delete and skip messages with simple voice commands, compose and reply to e-mail, filter by name and date to sort e-mail, access personal address books and create voice notifications that call when an important message is received or an event is triggered. Touch-tone fallback is also embedded if the user is unable to use the voice recognition system due to excessive background noise.

"We are excited to offer Audiopoint's Voice Terminal Service to our ever-growing nationwide customer base," said Ben Weintraub, COO of Simply Wireless. "This partnership represents yet another way for Simply Wireless to provide its customers with the tools necessary to compete and thrive in today's mobile economy."

The service fills the void for users that don't currently have voice access to e-mail through their ISP or corporate e-mail account. Voice Terminal includes more features than typical e-mail by phone services and addresses the critical needs of today's growing marketplace of teleworkers, commuters and travelers. Whether on the road, in the air, or simply away from a computer, users will never have to miss an important e-mail again.
