NEW$$-Advanced Voice Recognition Systems, Inc.
AVOI Updates Interference Proceedings and
Notice of Allowance of Third Patent

SCOTTSDALE, AZ, May 23, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Advanced Voice
Recognition Systems, Inc. ("AVRS") (AVOI) is a software development company
headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona specializing in creating interface and
application solutions for speech recognition technologies. Our speech recognition
software and related firmware was first introduced in 1994 at an industry trade
show.

Our primary assets are patents. The first U.S. Patent #5,960,447 is for a word
tagging and editing system for speech recognition filed on November 13, 1995 and
issued on September 28, 1999. The patent includes 42 claims covering an extremely
broad base of features applicable to existing Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR)
products and markets.

U.S. Patent #7,558,730 was filed on November 27, 2001 and issued on July 7, 2009.
The invention discloses a system for facilitating speech recognition and
transcription among users employing incompatible protocols for generating,
transcribing and exchanging speech. This patent is expected to strengthen our
position in voice recognition.

On March 9, 2010 the United States Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO") declared
an interference between the AVRS as Senior Party and Allvoice Developments, US
LLC as Junior Party. An interference is a proceeding conducted by the USPTO in
instances where two or more parties claim patent rights to the same technology.
In an interference the primary purpose of the USPTO is to determine which party
invented the technology first, and to award the patent to that party. The AVRS
patent was filed approximately 10 months before the Allvoice Patent. On January
13, 2011, Oblon Spivak of Alexandria, Virginia, representing AVRS in the
Interference proceedings, delivered oral arguments before a three judge panel of
the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences (BPAI). Oral arguments were the
culmination of thousands of hours of team effort. The Company hopes to receive a
timely decision.

Also on January 13, 2011, the Company received a notice of allowance for a third
patent which is a continuation of U.S. Patent #7,558,730. We believe the third
patent will improve the efforts of AVRS to monetize its assets in the rapidly
growing voice recognition and transcription marketplace.

Additionally, the Allvoice Patent is the subject of a lawsuit that Allvoice filed
against Microsoft in August 2009 in which Allvoice alleged infringement of
Allvoice's patent. Microsoft in turn filed invalidity contentions based in part
on Advanced Voice Recognition Systems' patent and its previously marketed product
Digital Dictate. To date the Western District of Washington has not ruled on the
invalidity contentions asserted by Microsoft.
