Fonix iSpeak(TM) for the Apple iPhone(TM) Accurate, Productive and Safe

(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) SALT LAKE CITY, UT, October 21 / MARKET WIRE/ --

Fonix Speech, Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of Fonix? Corporation (OTCBB: FNIX) specializing in embedded
speech interfaces for mobile devices, handheld electronic products, video
game systems and processors, sells Fonix iSpeak(TM) for the Apple
iPhone(TM). Fonix iSpeak is gaining user acceptability as a productive,
safe, hands free voice interface to the iPhone. Many states and countries
require hands free use of mobile devices -- Fonix iSpeak makes compliance
much more safe and easy. Used with the Apple ear buds, Fonix iSpeak allows
hands free use in the noisy environment of the car.

Fonix iSpeak users recently reported:

-- "Voice prompts make this the only voice dial app that is useful in the
car. It imports your contacts once, the first time you use it, so it opens
more quickly on subsequent uses -- even if you have a lot of contacts. The
voice recognition is great..."

-- "I've been anxiously awaiting the release of this application. When I
first heard about it I was a little skeptical, but all of my skepticism has
been laid to rest. I've purposely tried getting it messed up by using it in
my car, walking around outside with other people around, etc, but it's been
100% accurate, even with some pretty complicated last names..."

Fonix iSpeak can be purchased for US$14.99 through the Apple iTunes App
Store(TM) in the Productivity and/or Utilities category. Fonix iSpeak is
available in English for both the original and 3G models with iPhone OS 2.0
or later

"We are pleased with the initial user acceptance. Fonix iSpeak is gaining
market acceptance and becoming the voice interface of choice for the
iPhone," says Steve Jones, Fonix senior sales executive. "Accuracy is
essential as well as ease of use, especially in a hands free environment.
iSpeak purchase and download through the App Store is easy and quick,
follow the instructions and iSpeak delivers."
