Ditech Networks to Showcase Voice Web and Voicemail Transcription Applications at BroadSoft Connections Users' Conference

Ditech Networks (NASDAQ:DITC - News), a global leader in mobile voice processing solutions, today announced that it will be presenting at BroadSoft Connections 2009, BroadSoft's annual executive users' conference. Ditech will demonstrate toktok, an innovative new voice application that it is developing to enable carriers to offer their subscribers unique, speech-powered productivity and call control features, and Ditech's new suite of SimulScribe voice-to-text services.

Ditech's toktok application will provide voice web access over a regular phone call. Unlike other voice applications that run on devices or servers, the toktok application will run on the carrier's network, providing them with the ability to offer revenue generating, voice-enabled applications to any of its customers -- even those without smart phones. In coordination with Ditech's mStage Media Processor, the toktok Application Suite will enable service providers to offer to their subscribers toktok's speech enabled, mid-call functionality that cannot be found in any other voice application. toktok also has an open API, which will allow developers to create compelling applications that carriers can take to market.

"We are excited Ditech is attending BroadSoft Connections 2009," said Leslie Ferry, vice president of marketing, BroadSoft. "Ditech's toktok solution, which will be showcased in our Consumer Pavilion, will demonstrate how Voice Command Integration delivers a compelling service that enables consumers to be more productive and safe."

Ditech also offers superior voice-to-text transcription services, as a result of its recently announced exclusive, strategic relationship with SimulScribe. In addition, SimulAuto, Simulscribe's fully automated voice-to-text solution, is integrated within the toktok application. Ditech will discuss how its industry-leading Voice Quality Assurance (VQA) technology in combination with the SimulScribe VTT service will allow carriers to offer users voice transcription of the highest possible quality. Recent company studies have shown voice recognition accuracy can be significantly improved by employing VQA to reduce background noise and clarify speech.

"BroadSoft Connections is an ideal event to present how toktok and SimulScribe can make voice a growth opportunity for carriers," said Karl Brown, vice president of marketing in Ditech Networks. "Making voice the gateway to new value-added applications will allow operators to leverage their core competencies to gain new revenue streams. BroadSoft's philosophy on the telecommunications industry is closely aligned with our own and we are excited about the future possibilities between the two organizations."

BroadSoft Connections 2009 will be held at The Phoenician in Scottsdale, Arizona from October 25-28.
