Fonix iSpeak(TM) for the Apple iPhone(TM) Accurate, Productive and Safe Tuesday 10/21/2008 9:15 AM ET - Market Wire

Fonix Speech, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Fonix(R) Corporation (OTCBB: FNIX) specializing in embedded speech interfaces for mobile devices, handheld electronic products, video game systems and processors, sells Fonix iSpeak(TM) for the Apple iPhone(TM). Fonix iSpeak is gaining user acceptability as a productive, safe, hands free voice interface to the iPhone. Many states and countries require hands free use of mobile devices -- Fonix iSpeak makes compliance much more safe and easy. Used with the Apple ear buds, Fonix iSpeak allows hands free use in the noisy environment of the car.

Fonix iSpeak users recently reported:

-- "Voice prompts make this the only voice dial app that is useful in the car. It imports your contacts once, the first time you use it, so it opens more quickly on subsequent uses -- even if you have a lot of contacts. The voice recognition is great..."

-- "I've been anxiously awaiting the release of this application. When I first heard about it I was a little skeptical, but all of my skepticism has been laid to rest. I've purposely tried getting it messed up by using it in my car, walking around outside with other people around, etc, but it's been 100% accurate, even with some pretty complicated last names..."

Fonix iSpeak can be purchased for US$14.99 through the Apple iTunes App Store(TM) in the Productivity and/or Utilities category. Fonix iSpeak is available in English for both the original and 3G models with iPhone OS 2.0 or later

"We are pleased with the initial user acceptance. Fonix iSpeak is gaining market acceptance and becoming the voice interface of choice for the iPhone," says Steve Jones, Fonix senior sales executive. "Accuracy is essential as well as ease of use, especially in a hands free environment. iSpeak purchase and download through the App Store is easy and quick, follow the instructions and iSpeak delivers."

Re: Fonix Corp. (FNIX)

Today is the shareholders meeting. They will be voting on the reverse split. The board will then decide what ratio it will be and when. I think the price on your fewer shares will then go down for a time unless huge news is coming. I'd wait for a bottom after the split is done. They have some good products and are in alot of games. Should have a future but, not yet. IMO

Re: Fonix Corp. (FNIX)

Be careful of this. They have pumped alot of shares out and I read in a preshareholder meeting request that they are going to have a reverse split. The vote is not whether or not to have it but what the ratio will be. I decided to take a small loss now and got out. I'd wait for the value to stabilize after the split (the meeting is in mid Oct) and go from there. They do have some interesting products but they are so far in debt.
