Talk to your PC by phone to find and fax a document; Fax Sender lets users find and fax a document in their PC with simple over-the-phone voice commands.

SARATOGA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 14, 1997--Millennia Software today announced a software product that lets people easily find a file in their personal computer and fax it anywhere in the world, all by using voice commands over a telephone.

Fax Sender enables mobile professionals to access files on their computers without having to carry a computer when they travel.

Fax Sender lets users call their personal computer from any telephone, talk to it, and have the PC talk back to them with the requested information or action. Once the voice commands are received, Fax Sender locates the file on the hard drive of the user's computer, requests the destination of the document and faxes it to either a standard fax machine or to another PC as a data file. Fax Sender currently supports faxing Microsoft Office Suite documents.

"Mobile professionals can now find and fax a document to their customer as they are driving to a meeting, or waiting in the customer's office," says Bill Grubb, Millennia's CEO. "Ability to access information in a PC and send it anywhere, at any time, is a powerful tool for the mobile worker."

Fax Sender joins a family of products based on technology introduced by the company late last year. Millennia's products are the first PC telephony software products that do not require special voice-processing equipment to take advantage of advanced technologies like voice recognition and text-to-speech. All that is required is an Intel Pentium(TM) PC running at 75 MHz or faster, the Microsoft Windows 95(TM) operating environment, the Millennia software application and a TAPI-compliant voice modem.

Millennia's software products are based on the AT&T Watson voice-processing technology and on the company's own patent-pending VoiceLINK engine. The Watson technology, which AT&T spent more than 20 years developing, is based on BLASR Speech Recognition and FlexTalk Speech Synthesis algorithms developed by the former AT&T Bell Laboratories. TAPI -- which stands for Telephony Application Programming Interface -- is a widely adopted, open industry standard used internationally. Working with the voice modem, Millennia's VoiceLINK engine converts spoken words into digital instructions that the computer can understand.

Fax Sender(TM) is priced at $49.95 and shipping now. It can be downloaded over Millennia's Internet site at www.msw.com . For more information or to order other Millennia Software products, visit the website or call 888/362-4573.

Founded in 1995 by two former Intel engineers, Millennia Software is developing new ways of controlling PCs and accessing information using the world's most ubiquitous technology appliance -- the telephone.
