Ole!: Houghton Mifflin Chooses AT&T Natural Voices Spanish TTS from Wizzard Software to Provide Voices for Reference Book.

PITTSBURGH -- Wizzard Software (OTCBB:WIZD) announced today that Houghton Mifflin Company has licensed AT&T Natural Voices(R) for Server as the Spanish voice behind their reference book, The American Heritage(R) Spanish Dictionary. Boston-based Houghton Mifflin Company is one of the leading educational publishers in the United States, with more than $1 billion in sales. Houghton Mifflin publishes textbooks, instructional technology, assessments, and other educational materials for elementary and secondary schools and colleges.

"We selected AT&T's Natural Voices speech engine because of its high quality, human-sounding output," said David Langevin, Vice President, Director of Electronic Markets for Houghton Mifflin Company's Trade & Reference Division. "Compared to other TTS engines on the market that offer Spanish voices, we believe Natural Voices to be the best."

AT&T Natural Voices is used not only in the on-line versions of The American Heritage(R) Spanish Dictionary, but also in Houghton Mifflin's reference book software, eReferenceEspanol (www.ereference.com), which includes The American Heritage(R) Spanish Dictionary. eReferenceEspanol allows user to translate from Spanish to English and English to Spanish.

When users want to hear the pronunciation and definition, they simply click an audio icon and can listen to the words being read aloud. Available for both Windows and Mac operating systems, this popular bilingual dictionary is an ideal resource for everyone who uses, studies, or simply enjoys learning more about these two important languages.

"We are thrilled to provide Houghton Mifflin with a robust speech engine for their cutting-edge product," said Danielle Lewis, Marketing Director for Wizzard Software. "Considering that Spanish is the second-most spoken language in the world, a natural-sounding Spanish voice is an absolute requirement for any application that uses synthetic voices to automate or improve its usability."

Worldwide, nearly 500 million people speak Spanish, with 350 million considering Spanish to be their first language. The Hispanic origin population is the second fastest-growing population in the United States, according to the US Census Bureau. In fact, as of 1998, the United States has the fifth largest Hispanic population, about 30 million people, according to American Demographics. Further, Global Reach reports that about 5.8 percent of the people who use the Internet speak Spanish, making it the No. 4 language in the Internet community.
