Vocalis and Clear Channel Communications Announce Strategic Marketing Agreement

Vocalis, a world leader in Advanced Speech Recognition Technology, and Clear Channel, Clear Channel Communications Inc., the largest U.S. radio station owner, have announced a strategic marketing agreement. Under the agreement, Clear Channel's seven Houston radio stations: KLOL, KHMX, KPRC, KTBZ, KTRH, KKRW and KODA will promote and re-sell Vocalis' SpeechMail, email by phone service. Additionally, Clear Channel's Eller Media Division will conduct a comprehensive outdoor marketing campaign.

SpeechMail is designed to allow users access to their e-mail from any phone, any time, any place. The service is voice activated, enabling users to speak simple commands. Clear Channel listeners can sign up at any Houston Clear Channel radio station web-site (KHMX.com, KLOL.com, KODA.com, TheBUZZ.com, KKRW.com, KPRC.com, and KTRH.com) or via 713-595-8888.

Speechmail provides Clear Channel listeners with a safe, effective, familiar mechanism to access email, keep in touch with family, friends and business associates while increasing personal and business productivity. SpeechMail uses the most natural form of communication, Speech, rather than keypad-based entry, enabling natural ease of use.

"As one of Clear Channel Communication's key synergy markets, Houston is excited about the opportunity to take a great new product directly to our Radio Listeners." Says Dennis Hart, General Sales Manager of Clear Channel Houston's Internet division. "Clear Channel Houston has been focusing on new ways of leveraging our local franchises.
