ScreenFriends Develops 'Voice-enabled Casino Games'

``This breakthrough will revolutionize how we play games on the computer and over the Internet,'' said Brad Carley, Director of Product Development. ScreenFriends' ``Say and Play'' technology can be rapidly interfaced with existing computer games.

ScreenFriends intends to partner, or license its ``intelligent speech brain'' technology to game development companies who seek an enhanced, voice-activated gaming experience.

Americans purchased more than 215 million video and computer games in 1999 as game software sales revenues hit an all-time high of $6.1 billion, according to figures released by the Interactive Digital Software Association.

For computer users, the software requires no training to receive rich media and dynamic promotional content over the web. ScreenFriends will open and close programs, surf the web, read e-mail, and deliver stock quotes, news, movie reviews, weather reports, etc. Companies are using ScreenFriends to increase website traffic, deliver electronic coupons, increase brand awareness and offer special promotions direct to their desired demographic. The technology developed by ScreenFriends provides for a voice-enabled solution for most computer software.

The ScreenFriends Personal Inter(Face) product is a patent-pending software combining voice recognition, animated characters and computer response technologies. ScreenFriends characters are interchangeable and can be customized to promote any corporate sponsor online or offline 24/7.
