NEW YORK--(Business Wire)--
SpeechCycle Inc., the award-winning connected SaaS innovator for

language contact center interactions using its Rich Phone Applications
(RPAs). SpeechCycle currently automates customer support calls four of
the top five cable service providers in the US and is expanding into
new markets.

   "When many in the industry were still questioning whether or not
speech technology was even viable as a user interface for enterprise
applications, SpeechCycle was already automating one of the most
demanding customer service areas -- Triple Play technical support for
cable subscribers. Better yet, we deliver connected speech through our
highly scalable and flexible SaaS model," said Zor Gorelov,
SpeechCycle CEO.

   Having already scaled the SpeechCycle rich phone application (RPA)
model for 'Triple Play' (voice/video/data) technical support,

from connected speech applications that seamlessly integrate natural
language dialog systems with enterprise applications and transactional
business processes. SpeechCycle's connected speech applications are
helping a leading telecommunications service provider to enhance its
overall customer care experience.

   "By providing a SaaS-based voice application development and
runtime environment that seamlessly connects with enterprise support,
billing, provisioning, diagnostics, web and CRM applications,
something we refer to as 'rich phone applications', we can offer
breakthrough value for existing and emerging new speech markets,"
Gorelov said.
