(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) MATAWAN, NJ, July 9 / MARKET WIRE/ --
SpeechSwitch, Inc. (OTCBB: SSWC), a leader in
speech-recognition technology, announced today that Dr. Reddy's
Laboratories, Inc. has installed a Speech Enabled Auto Attendant at their
corporate headquarters building. SpeechSwitch, Inc. ("SpeechSwitch")
previously was a wholly owned subsidiary of iVoice, Inc. (OTCBB: IVOI)
prior to the spin-off from iVoice that was completed in August 2005 as a
special stock dividend distribution to iVoice shareholders.
Dr. Reddy's implemented a turnkey solution of the iVoice Speech-Enabled
Auto Attendant installed on their Avaya phone system. "The iVoice
Speech-Enabled Auto Attendant allows our customers and partners to call in,
speak the name of the person or department they are looking for, and get
transferred immediately. Speech technology is an excellent tool," said
Donna Sozio Kosmas, Senior Director, Human Resources.
The Auto Attendant was sold and installed by SpeechSwitch partner Safari
Telecom. SpeechSwitch's Speech-Enabled Auto Attendant system places people
at ease and allows customers to use their most natural form of
communication, their own voice, to navigate to the person they want to
speak with. Customers can avoid cumbersome touch-tone menus and
spell-by-name directories to reach individuals.

About SpeechSwitch, Inc.:
SpeechSwitch previously was a wholly owned subsidiary of iVoice, Inc.
(OTCBB: IVOI) prior to the spin-off from iVoice that was completed in
August 2005 as a special stock dividend distribution to iVoice
shareholders. SpeechSwitch, Inc. was incorporated in New Jersey on
November 10, 2004 as a wholly owned subsidiary of iVoice, Inc. It is
engaged in the design, manufacture, and marketing of specialized
telecommunication equipment. Our products use standard open-architecture
PC platforms and Microsoft Windows 2000 operating systems, thereby
facilitating the rapid adoption of new PC-based technologies while reducing
overall product costs. We concentrate our product development efforts on
software rather than hardware because we believe that the most efficient
way to create product value is to emphasize software solutions that meet
customers' needs. We have recently adapted our applications to integrate
with different manufacturer telephone switches through the use of Telephony
Application Program Interface or "TAPI." The use of TAPI, allows
SpeechSwitch to integrate our applications into different telephone
manufacturers Private Branch Exchange systems or "PBXs," eliminating the
need for costly additional external hardware. We have traditionally used
standard PC-related hardware components in our products, in part, to limit
our need to manufacture components. Our manufacturing operations consist
only of the installation of our proprietary software and, if required, a
voice board, into a fully assembled PC system which we obtain from several
different vendors. The Company obtains system components such as PCs,
circuit boards, application cards, fax boards, and voice boards from
various suppliers. Our flagship product is our Speech-enabled Auto
Attendant product. The Auto Attendant engages callers in a natural
language dialog and is ready to transfer a caller to an extension for the
party the caller is trying to reach at any time. Callers can interrupt the
Auto Attendant at any time by barging in on the prompts and simply saying
the name of the person or department they wish to speak to.
