Speereo Software UK announces partnership with Highbury Columbus Travel Publishing.

Speereo Software UK Ltd. and Highbury Columbus Travel Publishing Ltd. signed a contract on licensing Columbus travel content to Speereo Software. Soon Speereo´s voice-controlled application for travelers ´Voice Translator´ will be enhanced by electronic Columbus travel guides on every country and many cities which have been especially adapted for Speereo Voice Translator.

Speereo Voice Translator is a totally voice-driven application for travelers running on Pocket PC devices such as HP iPAQ, Toshiba, Samsung, etc. Speereo Voice Translator understands "on-the-fly" spoken English (even pronounced with a strong accent) and immediately reads back the same phrase in Spanish, German, French, Italian and Russian with 99.9% accuracy for native English speakers. About 4,000 of the most commonly used phrases, business, medical, and legal terms, conversational phrases, idioms, and some slang are arranged in 16 main categories and 87 sub-categories by subject, such as Travel, Useful, City, Buy food, Shopping, Health and Entertainment.

Speereo Voice Translator registered users will be able to download Columbus travel guides from Columbus web-site (www.travel-guide.com). For example, before going to Paris, the user may download a full guide with a list of hotels, restaurants, and places of interest to have them at hand. Columbus travel guides is an invaluable source of comprehensive and detailed information for country and cities worldwide.

"We are sure that adding Columbus travel guides to our product will make our Voice Translator really indispensable for travelers. Our users will get access to the most powerful travel resource", commented Alexander Blumin, Product Marketing Manager at Speereo Software UK. "Speereo Voice Translator has already proven to be successful and popular with Pocket PC users. Columbus Travel Guides make our Voice Translator even more attractive for hardware manufacturers, such as Hewlett-Packard, Fujitsu-Siemens, Dell etc. for placing as companion software to Pocket PC devices.".
