SigProvider and SigCarrier enable providers to offer state-of-the-art telephone services to individual consumers, small businesses, and large enterprises. The addition of Signate's Cepstral TTS Option means provider customers can offer rich interactive voice response dialogs to telephone customers, such as real-time weather updates, theater ticket ordering and account balance inquiries.

The Cepstral TTS Option will begin shipping during the second quarter of 2006. Pricing begins at $4,000 for 24 simultaneous voice streams.

"The combination of Signate's service provider telephony solutions and Signate's Cepstral TTS Option means our provider customers can offer small and medium sized enterprises the same types of interactive voice response solutions used by the largest companies in the world to communicate with their customers," said William Boehlke, Signate's CEO.

"The integration of Cepstral Text-to-Speech into Signate's VoIP and telephony offerings allows natural, flexible, dynamic voice content," said Kevin Lenzo, CEO of Cepstral. "Customers will see an immediate benefit from these robust, scalable systems that can deliver information and services exactly where and when is needed, with all the power and ease that Signate offers."
