   Vocalis  Group  plc, a world leader in  Advanced  Speech
   Recognition  (ASR), is pleased to announce an  agreement
   has   now  been  signed  to  offer  SpeecHTML  to  1,000
   companies  in a pilot implementation. This is the  first
   step  towards securing the newly identified #3bn  market
   opportunity   for  SpeecHTML,  the  recently   announced
   web/telephony  service. Vocalis is the only  company  to
   offer  this  service  and following a  successful  pilot
   programme  Vocalis  will be well positioned  to  take  a
   significant part of this new market.
   
   The  pilot  scheme  will  be  offered  to  1,000  clients,
   servicing a range of industries and offering a variety  of
   services.  The  participating companies will  be  given  a
   telephone  number that they will be able  to  promote  and
   distribute to their customers. This telephone number  will
   allow  customers  to access information  and  to  interact
   with the company's Website using spoken commands over  the
   telephone  (detailed  information and live  demonstrations
   can  be  accessed on http://www.speechtml.com). The  pilot
   is  scheduled to go live early December 1998 and the  full
   service is to be launched early 1999.
   
   SpeecHTML   allows  companies  to  offer  a  telephone
   number,  using  their web pages as the  source,  which
   gives   callers  information  and  allows  interactive
   transactions   over   the   telephone   using   spoken
   commands.  Customers need only an  ordinary  telephone
   to  call these services, and use the natural and  easy
   interface   of   speech  to  request  their   required
   information.  Companies  can update  their  web  pages
   quickly   and  easily,  and  this  will  automatically
   update  the  telephone service,  giving  a  real  time
   service that is flexible and easy to manage.
   
   "This  agreement brings together two leading players  in
   their   respective  fields  to  offer  a  world  beating
   service"  comments  Mike Williams  Business  Development
   Director  at Vocalis. "This pilot is the first  step  in
   providing  every  company with a  telephone  information
   and  transaction service as part of their World Wide Web
   facilities.  The  full service will be  available  early
   next year."
