SSWC News SpeechSwitch Deploying Speech Enabled Auto Attendant at PTS Floors in Denver, Colorado
MATAWAN, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 16, 2005--SpeechSwitch, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: SSWC), a leader in speech-recognition technology announced today that PTS Floors has installed a Speech Enabled Auto Attendant. SpeechSwitch, Inc. ("SpeechSwitch") previously was a wholly owned subsidiary of iVoice, Inc. (OTCBB:IVOC) prior to the spin-off from iVoice that was completed in August 2005 as a special stock dividend distribution to iVoice shareholders.
"PTS Floors implemented a complete solution that includes the iVoice Speech-Enabled Auto Attendant installed in conjunction with the Avaya phone system. By installing the iVoice Speech-Enabled Auto Attendant, their customers can call in and speak the name of the person or department they are looking for and be transferred immediately. We have made a technological up grade in all areas of our customer interface," said Peter Rincione CEO of PTS. "By introducing speech technology we believe it will provide a significant increase in business efficiency, and will enhance our ability to deliver top service to our customers."
SpeechSwitch's Speech-Enabled Auto Attendant system places people at ease and allows customers to use their most natural form of communication, their own voice, to navigate to the person they want to speak with. Customers can avoid cumbersome touch-tone menus and spell-by-name directories to reach individuals.

About SpeechSwitch, Inc:
SpeechSwitch previously was a wholly owned subsidiary of iVoice, Inc. (OTCBB:IVOC) prior to the spin-off from iVoice that was completed in August 2005 as a special stock dividend distribution to iVoice shareholders. SpeechSwitch, Inc. was incorporated in New Jersey on November 10, 2004 as a wholly owned subsidiary of iVoice, Inc. It is engaged in the design, manufacture, and marketing of specialized telecommunication equipment. Our products use standard open-architecture PC platforms and Microsoft Windows 2000 operating systems, thereby facilitating the rapid adoption of new PC-based technologies while reducing overall product costs. We concentrate our product development efforts on software rather than hardware because we believe that the most efficient way to create product value is to emphasize software solutions that meet customers' needs. We have recently adapted our applications to integrate with different manufacturer telephone switches through the use of Telephony Application Program Interface or "TAPI". The use of TAPI, allows SpeechSwitch to integrate our applications into different telephone manufacturers Private Branch Exchange systems or "PBX's", eliminating the need for costly additional external hardware. We have traditionally used standard PC-related hardware components in our products, in part, to limit our need to manufacture components. Our manufacturing operations consist only of the installation of our proprietary software and, if required, a voice board, into a fully assembled PC system which we obtain from several different vendors. The Company obtains system components such as PCs, circuit boards, application cards, fax boards, and voice boards from various suppliers. Our flagship product is our Speech-enabled Auto Attendant product. The Auto Attendant engages callers in a natural language dialog and is ready to transfer a caller to an extension for the party the caller is trying to reach at any time. Callers can interrupt the Auto Attendant at any time by barging in on the prompts and simply saying the name of the person or department they wish to speak to.
