Listen for Windows 1.1 Comes Complete for $495; Package Includes Microsoft
Word and WordPerfect Application Speech Interfaces; Special Introductory
Offer Includes Interfaces For Microsoft Office, Asymetrix Compel and More

PC EXPO, NEW YORK, Booth # 246--June 29, 1993--Verbex Voice Systems, Inc.
(Edison, N.J.), today announced the most affordable continuous speech
recognition package available. Speech interfaces for Microsoft Word and
WordPerfect are included with Listen for Windows 1.1 so that the
advantages of speech recognition can be immediately appreciated with these
popular applications. The Listen for Windows package includes a DSP
coprocessor board, Listen 1.1 software and a high-quality microphone.
Listen provides the most natural way to improve the operational speed and
accuracy of commands used to control Windows desktop and applications. The
product has a list price of $495.

The Listen for Windows speech interfaces include hundreds of words which
can be spoken individually or combined to create sentences used for
controlling desktop menus, utilities and common commands found in most
Windows applications. It allows users to more quickly navigate, command,
control, enter data and make inquiries easier than with keyboard or
mouse.

"The introduction of such an affordable and complete continuous speech
package underscores our commitment in providing speech solutions that are
cost-effective, uniquely practical as a complementary interface, and
simple to use," said Jeff Helthall, Verbex's director of marketing. "The
ability to interact with Windows by speaking in words or complete
sentences is now in reach of every business end user who seeks a more
natural and accurate interface. Finally, there is a continuous speech
recognition product that end users can afford," Helthall added.

While Word and WordPerfect are bundled with the Listen for Windows package,
continuous speech interfaces for many other popular applications are
available such as Aldus PageMaker 4.0 and AutoCAD release 12 for Windows.
At no additional charge, Verbex will include speech interfaces for
Microsoft Office (Word, Mail, Excel, Powerpoint), Asymetrix Compel, and
Corel Draw, valued at $195, until October 1, 1993. Orders are being taken
now for delivery in August 1993.

Verbex is also presently offering a Listen for Windows Power User's and
Speech Developers Kit (SDK) so developers can independently create their
own speech ready applications. The kit comes complete with the Speech
Commander DSP coprocessor board which is ISA-bus compatible, a noise
cancelling microphone and complete documentation. Also included is Respond
for Windows, a high-fidelity digitized speech response developer's
software kit. The combined package is specially priced at $695 until
September 1, 1993.
