Business Wire, Oct 3, 2005

LAWRENCEVILLE, N.J. -- Voxware, Inc. (OTC: VOXW), a leading supplier of voice-driven logistics solutions, announced that LXE has selected Voxware's VoiceXML browser, VoxBrowser(TM), to voice-enable its entire line of Windows(R) CE-based wireless computers. Voxware is the first and only vendor to provide voice technology for the logistics market that has fully utilized the VoiceXML standard in a browser. VoxBrowser is the core enabling technology platform that eliminates the industry's dependence on proprietary links between host software applications and client devices. Logistics solution providers and end users now have increased flexibility to enhance their applications' functionality.

"We selected Voxware's VoxBrowser based on the strength of its open systems, standards-based architecture, and the value of its powerful, industrial-strength speech recognition technology," said Jim Childress, president and general manager of LXE. "With VoxBrowser we can easily add voice capabilities to the full range of our current and future wireless computers. As a result, our customers and partners will significantly expand applications of speech recognition technology - through any LXE device - across their logistics solutions."

"We're pleased that LXE is the first to select Voxware's VoxBrowser to voice-enable its line of market-tested, rugged, mobile computing solutions for the logistics market," said Tom Drury, Voxware CEO. "Voice has become a strategic imperative in today's warehouse operations. With LXE's proven hardware, award-winning, superior customer service and worldwide distribution capabilities, logistics solution providers and end users will have significant new alternatives to deploy voice-driven logistics solutions."

"This is a watershed event for the logistics market, because it opens up a vast array of opportunities for logistics solution providers, who can now leverage open systems, industry standards and thin-client technology in voice-enabled Windows CE devices. This puts the solution provider squarely in control of the entire application," noted Childress. "Voxware's VoxBrowser enables any logistics solution provider to quickly and effortlessly voice-enable a WMS, ERP or warehouse distribution application."

VoxBrowser enables customers and logistics solution providers to develop applications that can readily include Windows CE devices, thereby expanding where and how voice can be integrated into the warehouse. "Customers can now deploy voice solutions with greater flexibility and portability, which lowers TCO," added Drury. "At the same time, it allows companies to leverage, in a very short timeframe, the quantum leaps in accuracy and productivity that voice delivers."

VoxBrowser includes the industry-leading Voxware Integrated Speech Engine (VISE(TM)), designed for demanding industrial environments and an industry leading Text-to-Speech (TTS) engine.
