BARCELONA - Mobile World Congress, Booth 2F49, February 10
(ots/PRNewswire) -- Acapela Group, the European Voice solutions
expert, announces the first deployment of its Acapela for iPhone text
to speech solution, with the release of iSpeak by Future Apps, an
innovative developer of solutions for the iPhone platform.

iSpeak is designed at taking mobile translators/speech learning
tools to a new level of capability and quality. The iSpeak Apps are
not merely simple text translators, but use Acapela high quality
speech synthesis to vocalise the translated phrase back to you in the
target language.

Future Apps has worked with Acapela Group to integrate Acapela
for iPhone - a product designed to offer to iPhone community
developers a high quality speech engine specifically adapted to meet
their needs - in their applications. This provides the iSpeak Apps
real time vocalisation of translations with full quality, no
compression, and no internet connection needed.

"We put a lot of work into creating the ultimate translation tool
for the iPhone that can be used for anything from simple word
translations to a convenient and easy way to learn a language," said
John Stefanopoulos, Founder of Future Apps. "When we approached
Acapela, we were blown away by the voice quality their speech engine
reproduces. It is like nothing you have ever heard before, especially
considering that our iSpeak Apps run on a mobile phone."

"We have launched the Acapela for iPhone solution a few months
ago and we had a lot of very positive interest and feedback from the
iPhone community. iSpeak will definitely change the way we interface
with language learning issues. We are very happy to voice empower
such a smart and high end tool which will be the first app to
demonstrate the power of Acapela natural voices to voice enable
iPhone applications, at an appstore affordable price." says Lars-Erik
Larsson, CEO of Acapela Group.
