Suite

New software suite offers ease-of-use in creation of end-to-end voice
applications

Voice applications extended to more WMS, ERP and similar resource management
environments

Provides partners with access to Vocollect's best practices

PITTSBURGH and NICE, France, May 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Vocollect, Inc., the world
leader in voice solutions for mobile workers, has today announced VoiceWorld
Suite, a fully configurable suite of software products and tools that allow
for easier development of voice applications suitable for multiple market
segments. Businesses increasingly look to voice to help them achieve greater
accuracy, increased productivity and efficiency gains. Vocollect's VoiceWorld
Suite will make it easier for more partners and customers to tap into
Vocollect's best practices for deploying voice applications.

VoiceWorld Suite will allow Vocollect's network of resellers and customers
across the globe to rapidly create new and modify existing voice applications
that enable the creation of scalable, reliable and industrial strength voice
systems. The Suite comprises existing and new applications and will continue
to be developed to ensure users always have access to the best-in-breed voice
solutions.

Joe Pajer, president of Vocollect, Inc.'s supply chain business, said, "The
opportunities for voice are vast and we've only just begun to penetrate this
market worldwide. Now, with a single source for voice implementation,
VoiceWorld Suite empowers our reseller partners and customers to extend the
use of voice, based on Vocollect's best practices, throughout the global
distribution center (DC)/warehouse environment and across the extended supply
chain."

VoiceWorld Suite is composed of four key elements:

-- Enterprise Voice Connectors - Provide direct-oriented (VoiceDirect)
and
middleware (VoiceLink) interfaces to map work assignments from WMS,
ERP,
SCM, IM and TMS systems to the mobile computing device. VoiceWeaver
provides a native interface to the SAP Netweaver WM and EWM solutions.
-- Vocollect VoiceConsole - Centralizes management activities for
voice-enabled workforces and their devices.
-- Vocollect VoiceClient - Currently supporting 26 languages, it provides
market-leading accuracy through noise-tolerant voice recognition and
speech output for end-user mobile devices.

-- Development Tools - Including TaskBuilder and VoiceArtisan - provide a
robust and consistent environment for the development of voice
applications, enabling resellers and customers to create new or modify
existing voice applications without needing voice-specific expertise
or
proprietary development programmers.

A wide range of Industrial Mobile Devices run applications from VoiceWorld
Suite including: the Vocollect Talkman Series (T5, T5m and T2x), as well as
devices from other manufacturers including the Psion Teklogix Workabout Pro
Speech, Intermec CK3, LXE MX7 and HX2, and the Motorola MC9090 and WT4000
series.

Vocollect has deployed its offerings to 5,000 customer sites with more than
250,000 end users in over two decades of operation. "There are benefits of
Vocollect Voice the whole way down the supply chain," said Jim McCafferty,
distribution general manager for major United Kingdom retailer WHSmith. "In
addition to accuracy and productivity increases, there have been significant
improvements in quality control, replenishment and store shrink rates. But it
is the productivity increases that I have been most impressed with - and the
almost immediate return on investment," he said.
