Press Release Summary = Kharkiv, Ukraine - November18, 2005 - QArea, the leading
developer and tester of applications for PDA's and smartphones also being the
originator of the pioneering BugHuntress Test Suite - automated testing system for
PDA applications, is proud to contribute to socially oriented technologies for those
who have lost their ability to speak, along with Sym Systems Corporation, USA, and
marketing assistance of Ukrainian Hi-Tech Initiative (www.hi-tech.org.ua).


QArea, an offshore software development company has successfully finished the first
two software development projects for non-verbal persons. The software development
program was outsourced by Sym Systems Corporation, an American company producing
augmentative speech devices assisting those who require alternative forms of
communication. QArea's marketing support was provided by Ukrainian Hi-Tech
Initiative, a leading Ukrainian alliance in Offshore Software Development and the IT
industry (www.hi-tech.org.ua).


The E-Talk Tablet device by Sym Systems Corporation is a portable speech device for
anyone who has lost the ability to speak. The E-Talk is a Tablet PC based on Windows
XP - so in addition to being a speech generating device, it also supports a large
number of applications designed for the PC. The E-Talk Tablet uses the E-Talk 3
Software System, providing word prediction, multiple languages, and the ability to
completely customize the display.


The E-Talk is controlled by tapping on the front panel or it can use a variety of
switch access methods. The E-Talk features a dynamic display software that allows
the custom communication system to be easily created for nearly any user. The
selection can be made from pictures mixed with text, completely picture based, or
completely text based formats. It comes with changeable keypad overlays, including
the entire alphabet and common words and phrases. The box \"speaks\" the word, letter
or phrase by simply pressing a key. A user who still has vocal capabilities can
record all the selections in their own voice. Yet, for those who have lost their own
voice still there are no language barriers. Because one can digitally record any
voice (man\'s, woman\'s or child\'s), the E-Talk can speak in any language.
