Press Release Body: A new version of Expressivo, software capable of reading any
text with a human voice, has been launched. Expressivo version 1.3 is the first
application of this type in the world to be fully integrated with iPods.

iPod supports Expressivo because the application has been integrated with iTunes -
commonly available freeware for iPods. Any text read by Expressivo is automatically
added to iTunes library as an audio file. Here it can be stored or copied to the
player. With just one mouse click. Expressivo 1.3 makes it also easier to create
audiobooks as it has new functions accelerating audio file creation process.

Expressivo's integration with iPod is certainly good news for over a 100 million
users of this most popular portable music player in the world. And for almost a
million of iPhone users. Now, thanks to Expressivo, they can always have with them
their favorite book or even a library and listen to it anytime, e.g. while walking
or in a car. iPod with Expressivo can also help with work (e.g. reading out e-mails,
RSS news or planned events from the planner) and study (e.g. reading out lectures or
facilitating learning of a foreign language). Texts read by Expressivo can also be
played on other MP3 players, cell phones and palmtops.

You can test Expressivo "virtual voices" in the free Text To Speech Service:
http://say.expressivo.com. You just enter any text in the appropriate window. Then
you choose the voice to read the text. Four voices are available, speaking three
languages (English, Polish and Romanian). Then you can send the voice message which
you have generated to your friends via e-mail or publish it in the Web (e.g. on a
blog).

Expressivo Text Reader is powered by IVONA Text-To-Speech (TTS). The speech
generation technology developed by IVO Software is regarded as one of the best in
the world. In this year's prestigious international Blizzard Challenge IVONA won
acclaim confirming its success from 2006 when 135 experts chose IVONA as offering
the best voice quality. To find out more about Expressivo visit
