PITTSBURGH -- Wizzard Software (OTCBB:WIZD) is pleased to announce the addition of IBM WebSphere Multimodal Environment Version 4.3 to their product offerings. Built on the award-winning IBM Embedded ViaVoice speech technology, the architecture of IBM WebSphere Everyplace Multimodal Environment fully integrates speech recognition and speech synthesis technology into the Web environment. This state-of-the-art technology provides an intuitive, inexpensive and time-effective way to create multimodal applications for smart phones, PDAs, automotive navigation systems, set-top boxes, hands-free phones, tablets, notebooks and desktop computers.

The IBM WebSphere Everyplace Multimodal Environment Version 4.3, which is available from Wizzard, is supported by the IBM WebSphere Multimodal Toolkit Version 6.0. The IBM WebSphere Multimodal Toolkit Version 6.0 is available for download at no charge from IBM at http://www.ibm.com/software/pervasive/multimodal and Wizzard will offer technical assistance packages to developers.

"The IBM WebSphere Everyplace Multimodal Environment, coupled with our new WizzScribe offerings announced last week, provides the necessary speech technology components to develop scalable solutions that can produce unparalleled productivity and mobility for corporate America."

"For example, by using IBM WebSphere Everyplace Multimodal Environment with server-based WizzScribe, developers can create a speech-centric solution that includes access and navigation through both speech and touch on handheld devices," Phifer continued. "The solution would then be backed up by speech processing for audio, free-form note taking and data gathering on a remote server for analysis and retrieval. With possibilities like this, the opportunities to bring enhanced productivity and mobility to mobile workforces are almost limitless."
