MyCaption (http://mycaption.com/home/index), a leading provider of voice-to-data services, today announced it has released a version of its voice recognition software for the new BlackBerry's174; Storm from Research In Motion (RIM) (Nasdaq: RIMM; TSX: RIM). MyCaption allows business users the ability to write-by-voice their email, memos, tasks, contact notes and calendar entries and synchronize them with any Enterprise applications such as Outlook, Microsoft Exchange and even Google applications.
The BlackBerry Storm really helps bring an application like MyCaption to the forefront of a user'ss mind, said Vipul Bhatt, CEO and founder. While the Storm is a breakthrough for RIM,
when you combine its touch-screen with the facility to simply speak your email, memos, notes and appointments, you get the best of both worlds. This is the perfect example of voice
becoming the new keyboard.
Once the small plug-in is installed, business users can begin to compose and reply to emails or sync with their enterprise networks contact management systems. Simply click on Compose
(MyCaption) or Reply (MyCaption) and start speaking the email. When finished click done and an email is sent to anyone in the user'ss network. MyCaption gives all business users the
ability to review and edit their email before sending.
In addition to the new BlackBerry Storm MyCaption is currently supported on the BlackBerry's174; Pearl's8482;, BlackBerry's174; Curve's8482; and BlackBerry's174; 8800 series smartphones.

> Text Review: The voice-to-data service allows users to review your spoken email before sending via BlackBerry, with an easy-to-use text-review capability.
