Devices
Collaborations with LXE and Psion Teklogix offer users additional choices and
flexibility for implementing Vocollect Voice in supply chain environments

PITTSBURGH, Jan. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Vocollect, Inc., the world leader in
Voice-Directed Work, announced successful collaboration with two leading
handheld and wearable device suppliers aimed at delivering on its strategy to
make its highly successful Vocollect Voice applications available on multiple
devices and platforms.
"Companies continue to experience significant improvements in speed,
accuracy and worker satisfaction with Vocollect Voice applications throughout
the global supply chain," said Roger Byford, Vocollect chief executive
officer. "Expanding the number of devices that port Vocollect Voice will help
us bring those benefits to an even broader group of end users," he said.
Recently the company joined forces with LXE, the leading manufacturer of
rugged wireless computers that improve supply chain performance, as a
strategic voice collaborator. "Our leading portfolio has been further
strengthened with the addition of Vocollect Voice for the LXE MX7 handheld and
LXE HX2 wearable devices," said Byford.
Vocollect's collaboration with partner Psion Teklogix (PTX) on the jointly
developed WORKABOUT PRO-Voice multi-purpose data collection terminal ported
with Vocollect Voice equipped 630 workers last fall at United Kingdom retail
giant Wilkinson. The year 2007 also saw the introduction of Vocollect Voice
onto two Motorola platforms, the MC9090 rugged mobile computer and the
Motorola WT4000 series of wearable computers.
"For the end customer, it's all about high performance, choice and
flexibility, and sometimes that means customers want versatile, multi-purpose
devices to achieve their operational goals," said Byford. "Such collaborations
with Psion Teklogix, Motorola and LXE are ones we will continue to pursue in
our mission to expand the penetration of Vocollect Voice around the world. "
