Former Dragon Systems Executives Start Company To Sort, Index and Retrieve Internet-Based Multimedia Content

BOXBOROUGH, Mass. (PRWEB) June 23, 2003 -- Three former executives of speech recognition and language industry leader Dragon Systems announced today the formation of Audiotrieve, LLC, a new company dedicated to applying speech and language technologies to solve problems that are not usually considered to be speech and language problems. The companys applications will sort, index and retrieve content that is available or delivered on the Internet.

Audiotrieves three co-founders are Roger Matus, Chief Executive, Sean True, Chief Technologist and Laura Strassman, VP of Product and Technical Marketing. They are best known for directing advanced technologies, development, engineering, marketing and business development activities at Dragon Systems, which was the worldwide leader in speech and language products until its acquisition. Dragon NaturallySpeaking, the world's first large vocabulary continuous speech recognition product, became the top selling product in its category and is still available today. During their term at Dragon Systems, revenues grew from less than $15 million to more than $60 million.

Because humans work with words, Audiotrieve's first approach will be to apply advanced speech and language technologies to analyze both seen and unseen words. The gathered information enables Audiotrieve to work with complex multimedia content, as well as text-based documents, in ways that others do not," said Matus.

The companys first efforts will be aimed at stopping spam by sorting it out of a users Inbox and at helping Internet search engines to find online multimedia content.
