V-Enable Inc., the leader in global multimodal solutions and Loquendo, the global speech technology company, today announced a joint marketing agreement leveraging Loquendo's multilingual speech technologies to deliver enhanced multimodal solutions to carriers world wide. Loquendo has best-in-breed speech solutions in 14 different languages and its technologies power over 2.000.000 calls every day in the telecommunications and enterprise markets.

The JMA between V-Enable and Loquendo will enable carriers to offer their customers an even richer multimodal experience by introducing quality voice services that boost customer loyalty and generate new revenue.

The reach of V-Enable's veANYWAY™ solution is now even broader with the integration of Loquendo's software voice platform, which comprises high-quality, top performance Loquendo TTS synthetic speech engine and Loquendo ASR speaker-independent automatic speech recognition in an increasingly broad array of languages - as well as Loquendo's Voice XML 2.0 interpreter.

As mobile professionals become more global with their business interactions, V-Enable's veANYWAY solution combined with Loquendo's multilingual speech capability enables them to interact with content and manage their e-mail over the phone - without interrupting their business efficiencies and effectiveness - using the most natural medium, in the language of their choice.

VeANYWAY™, the multimodal solution, is comprised of the following elements: veCLIENT™ - a multimodal client extension for Java, Brew and other thin client mobile phones. VeGATEWAY™ - a server-side software based solution that integrates different voice/text/graphics/video gateways into one seamless experience for the user, allows new, enhanced services to be offered on mobile devices, allows reuse of existing content and applications on mobile devices. VeSTUDIO™ - developer platform environment to allow third party application developers to easily build multimodal apps. VeAPPS™ -showcase of multimodal user interfaces to applications that V-Enable believes will be significantly enriched with a multimodal experience.

A demo of a typical application will be demonstrated during the 3GSM congress in Cannes aboard the V-enable yacht Calypso of Malahide on the Jetee Albert Edouard in the harbour.
