these record holders. The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends
on its Common Stock. The Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends
in the foreseeable future.

Voxware Conferencing Platform:
The Voxware Conferencing Platform (VCP) consists of:
o VCP client application programming interface (API) Software Development Kit
o VCP server application software
o Underlying networking, conferencing, and speech compression/decompression
technology using MetaVoice technology
Available for Windows 32 bit platform (95/NT)
6
<PAGE>
VoxChat Client:
VoxChat is based on the Voxware Conferencing Platform (VCP) and is designed for
large-scale bidirectional voice conferencing over IP networks. Its features
include:
o Chat Rooms -- VoxChat allows the creation of public or private rooms. Users
may invite others into chat rooms for off-line conversation.
o Text Chat -- Conference participants can interact within a conference room via
text messages.
o Web Integration -- The client will automatically log into a VoxChat server
which is identified either by the plugin's EMBED tag or the application's
configuration file.
o Participants List -- A list of users participating in the conference is
displayed on the client along with an indication of who is currently talking and
who is waiting to speak.
Available for Windows 32 Bit platform
VoxChat Server:
The VoxChat server works in conjunction with VoxChat Clients. It receives
incoming voice streams from VoxChat Client participants who are speaking in a
conference and distributes them to other participants in the conference.
Available for Windows NT 4.0 Server
VoxPhone (TeleVox 2.5):
Serverless, H-323 compliant Internet telephony application which supports
person-to person voice communications as well as conferences of up to 5
individuals over dial-up network connections. Features include text chat, file
transfer and VoiceFont speech modification.
Available for Windows 32 bit platforms.
VoiceFont 2.1:
VoiceFont provides a set of voice transformations that can be used in
conjunction with Voxware's RT29 or RT24 codecs. The transformations are
presented as a pallet of possible "fonts" that can be applied to the user's
voice to create some new, artificial voice at the output. Currently, there are
38 fonts provided. Each of the fonts is created by applying some combination of
one or more of 4 basic technologies:
o Alteration of the pitch
o Alteration of the degree of voicing (to make the voice more or less whispery)
o Alteration of the spectral shape (to make the speaker sound larger or smaller)
o Addition of DSP sound effects (such as flange, chorus, and reverberation)
Each of these four components can be applied to a variable extent. The 38 fonts
currently supplied as part of VoiceFont 2.1 use 38 predefined settings of these
four components.
7
<PAGE>
VoiceFont 3.0:
VoiceFont 3.0 is a plug-in addition to Voxware's RT series codecs which enables
the user to alter the voice as it is encoded and transmitted. This product is
the second in what is intended to be a long line of upgrades and improvements to
the VoiceFont technology. VF3.0 provides all the functionality of VF2.1 (38
distinct predefined voice "fonts"), but adds two key features:
o The ability to create a font specifically for a user's voice. Such fonts are
custom adapted to the user's voice and can therefore provide true gender and age
warping.
o The ability to modify or refine the user-created or predefined fonts in order
to derive truly unique fonts.
ToolVox:
ToolVox consists of four components:
1) ToolVox Encoder - This encoder converts PCM format (AIFF on Macintosh and
WAV on Windows) speech data to Voxware's VOX format using Voxware's RT24
speech codec and stores this data to a file. It can convert files as well
as record speech directly.
2) ToolVox Gold Encoder - This encoder converts PCM format (AIFF on Macintosh
and WAV on Windows) speech data to Voxware's VOX format using Voxware's
RT29HQ speech codec and stores this data to a file. It also allows the use
of Voxware's VoiceFont technology to modify the characteristics of the
recorded speech. It can convert files as well as record speech directly.
3) ToolVox Basic Player - This player application is used to decode speech
files compressed with Voxware's RT24 codec. It works as a stand-alone
application as well as a "plug-in" component to an Internet browser.
4) ToolVox Gold Player - This player application is used to decode speech
files compressed with Voxware's RT29HQ codec. It works as a stand-alone
application as well as a "plug-in" component to an Internet browser.
