Company Summary

Speech is hot. The iPhone 4S launched with Siri (acquired by Apple for $300M) and Nuance has bought nearly every competitive speech tech company: Vlingo for ~$250M and SVOX for $130M being the most recent. Post-consolidation, iSpeech has become the leading platform for developers (30k developers and 2B transactions). With it's ground breaking Voice Cloning tech set to launch in late 2013, iSpeech is positioned to further disrupt the market.
