Read Your Voicemail with Iperia`s Visual Voice Messaging App

Yap Provides Fully Automated Voicemail-to-Text Transcription for Iperia
SAN FRANCISCO--(Business Wire)--
(Mobile Voice Conference)-- Iperia, a leading global provider of next-generation
voice and messaging applications, has selected Yap to deliver fully automated
voicemail transcription for its Visual Voice Messaging application (VVM). With
Iperia`s VVM, wireline and wireless service providers can offer a branded
interface on any smartphone, agnostic of network, that allows subscribers to
read - and listen to - their voice messages.

The visual voicemail experience on the iPhone and other smartphones makes access
to voicemail faster and more convenient than cumbersome, touch-tone menu
systems. However, these visual voicemail experiences still require subscribers
to listen to their voicemail. This can be challenging in noisy environments or
inappropriate in certain situations, like during a meeting.

Iperia`s VVM, powered by Yap`s automated voicemail transcription service, solves
this problem by allowing subscribers to quickly and discretely read or listen to
their voicemail directly from within a single screen in the VVM application.

"The visual voicemail offerings that are widely deployed today still require
users to listen to their messages - there`s nothing visual about that," says
Igor Jablokov, CEO at Yap. "Iperia provides the best of both worlds making their
visual voice messaging truly visual by allowing users to read as well as listen
to their voicemail."

Yap`s high accuracy and fully automated voicemail-to-text service helps ensure
that Iperia`s VVM experience meets operators` very high bar for accuracy, fast
turn-around time and privacy.

"The accuracy levels provided by Yap are virtually on par with what agents can
provide," says Sam Waicberg, CEO at Iperia. "Furthermore, Yap`s fully automated
approach requires no human involvement, providing much faster response times and
helping guarantee that subscribers` personal information remains private."

In addition to voicemail, Iperia`s conferencing, video-mail, voice notification
and voice sms applications will be integrated with Yap`s automated voice
transcription services.

Iperia offers its VVM with Yap`s voicemail-to-text on iPhone, Android,
Blackberry, WinMobile, and Symbian smartphone devices.
