B: Fonix licenses speech solutions to HP

Apr 18, 2002 (TELECOMWORLDWIRE via COMTEX) -- Hewlett-Packard (HP) has licensed
two speech solutions from Fonix Corp, a provider of natural-user interface
technology solutions.

Specifically, HP has licensed Text-To-Speech (TTS) and Automatic Speech
Recognition (ASR) for use in its new HP Jornada 928 Wireless Digital Assistant

to use only their voices to access and call contacts with the mobile phone
feature of their HP Jornada 928 WDA.

The HP Jornada 928 WDA with Fonix speech solutions will be available in the UK
and French- and German-speaking countries and will go on sale in the late second
quarter of 2002. Pricing details and financial terms of the licensing deal were
not disclosed.
