Brooktrout Technology, Inc., and VoiceGenie Technologies Inc., today announced the selection of Brooktrout's award-winning TR1000™ speech processing board as the telephony board for VoiceGenie's Developer Workshop. The VoiceGenie Developer Workshop combines VoiceGenie's VoiceXML platform with a group of tools, documentation, and other VoiceXML resources, accessible via a unique URL, that help users to design, develop and test their own voice-enabled, interactive phone applications for free.

"Our recent testing confirmed that Brooktrout's TR1000 board provides the recognition accuracy and performance levels our customers require, making the advanced telephony board an obvious choice for our VoiceGenie Developer workshop," said Stuart Berkowitz, President and CEO of VoiceGenie Technologies Inc. "The TR1000's full-duplex operation, long-tail echo cancellation and integrated Voice Activity Detection improve system accuracy and performance for our developers."

Brooktrout's TR1000 speech processing board has been designed to meet the demanding requirements of advanced speech-enabled applications. Its innovative DSP algorithms have been specially optimized for speech applications, selectively eliminating noise, silence and echo from the audio stream to improve both recognition accuracy and overall system performance. The TR1000 also provides flexible voice, fax and conferencing capabilities to support a wide range of speech-enabled applications. Feature-rich APIs provide high- and low-level access to this sophisticated preprocessor, and are designed to integrate easily with speech applications and leading third-party speech software, such as VoiceGenie's VoiceXML platform.

"At Brooktrout we understand that, as a provider of open systems enabling technology, our products are only one component of an overall solution. We rely on our close relationships with industry leaders such as VoiceGenie to provide reliable and interoperable communications products to our customers," said Eric Giler, president of Brooktrout. "We will continue to work closely with VoiceGenie to provide interoperability and high performance so that applications developed using our products can be deployed with confidence."

In March 2003, Brooktrout and VoiceGenie announced the integration of Brooktrout's TR1000 speech processing board with VoiceGenie's industry-leading VoiceXML platform. The companies have continued their joint integration efforts and Brooktrout's TR1000 continues to support upgraded versions of the VoiceXML platform, including the recently released version 5.9.9, generally available now. Developers can use this 100% VoiceXML compliant system to create speech-enabled applications such as voice self-help systems, automated progress tracking, advanced message delivery services, virtual assistants, and automated business finder and operator services.
