Neo Car Jukebox MP3 Player Features Fonix iSpeak

July 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Fonix and SSI America today announced that the iSpeak personal text reader has been added to the Neo Car Jukebox's lineup of enhanced user-friendly features.

"MP3 customers will have the opportunity to use their MP3 players in a way they have never been able to before," said Kurt Flygare, vice president of sales for Fonix Corporation. "iSpeak enables Neo Car Jukebox customers to take any text from their computers and convert it to a speech file that they can listen to while they are in their car, making their Neo Car Jukebox MP3 players more convenient and productive as well."

James Buchheim, President of SSI America, noted, "Our Neo Car Jukebox is not only an MP3 player that lets you take music where you want it, but it is also a portable hard drive. With the addition of iSpeak, an everyday useable speech solution from Fonix, it becomes an even more valuable and versatile product."

The highly flexible Neo Car Jukebox units that feature iSpeak (20GB, 40GB and 80GB) also include a Home Stereo docking bay to slide out of your car and use at home. The kit is designed to work in any car with any existing car radio. Neo Car Jukebox connects to your computer via a USB port and includes MusicMatch software for converting CDs to MP3s. The unit is compatible with Windows 98/Me/2000 and MAC OS. The jukebox can also function as an external hard drive for the storing, transferring, or backup of up to 80GB of files.

iSpeak uses Fonix leading text-to-speech technology to transform text into clear, natural sounding audio files. iSpeak automatically reads aloud any ASCII text and allows users to easily adjust pitch, speed and volume. Users can easily and conveniently scan e-mail, review websites and listen to lengthy documents, while performing other tasks. Text files can be saved as portable MP3s for later listening on planes, in cars, at the gym, or anywhere the user chooses.

As part of iSpeak's addition to Neo Car Jukebox, customers will receive a 30-day free trial of the text reader. After the trial period, users may purchase the serial number for their continued use.
