Press Release Summary: Telesoft Technologies announces that its OKEFORD Media
Platform has been certified as VoiceXML 2.0 compliant by the VoiceXML Forum.

Press Release Body: Blandford, England, 16th June 2008 - Telesoft Technologies, a
leading provider of carrier-grade next generation Interactive Voice Response (IVR)
systems, announced today that its OKEFORD Media Platform has been certified as
VoiceXML 2.0 compliant by the VoiceXML Forum. The VoiceXML Forum is a global
industry organization chartered to promote and to accelerate the adoption of
VoiceXML-based applications.

The VoiceXML language allows system integrators (SI) and OEMs to quickly develop
voice-controlled services for customer care (bill payment, mobile top-up, etc) and
value-added services (directory assistance, news, televoting, etc) on the OKEFORD
Media Platform. It uses VoiceXML to control up to 500,000 calls per hour in 24
languages and with up to 8 different simultaneous applications from a single unit.

"The OKEFORD Media Platform allows our SI and OEM partners to create services valued
by subscribers and create new revenue streams for Telecom Service Providers," said
Andy Evripides, VP Sales & Marketing, Telesoft Technologies. "VoiceXML platform
certification demonstrates our commitment to open standards and interoperability
where customers can use the best-of-breed tools and applications to quickly develop
valued services."

VoiceXML (Voice Extensible Markup Language) is specifically designed to support
interaction via voice, while HTML, for instance, is designed to support text
interaction. Its major advantage is to allow web-based creation of IVR applications.
It's designed to handle automated speech recognition (ASR), text-to-speech (TTS),
audio files, touch-tone and voice recording.

VoiceXML allows fast development of speech recognition routines for media platforms.
VoiceXML is important as it allows portions of code to be reused in other
developments and can be easily ported to different underlying hardware to drive
rapid deployment of new systems into the field.

"VoiceXML platform certification has helped to mature the industry by encouraging
the cross-vendor interoperability of platforms, tools, and applications," said Ken
Rehor, chair of the VoiceXML Forum's Conformance Committee. "We congratulate
Telesoft on its recent certification."
