Keep in mind that I'm NOT bashing OneVoice here, but I am simply CONCERNED with three things that don't sit well with me right now:
1)This is an American company, with American investors watching it (as well as Canadian, myself included) and their seems to be very little American exposure!!!
2)It's great that OneVoice is "spreading it's wings," so to speak in other countries! -Mexico, and "possibly" India... But, the "Iris ads" are pretty crapy and leave to much ambiguity to the consumer -"what the hell is Iris???" That's what I'd be asking... Not, "Oh wow, voice activation for my cell phone!! That sounds cool..."
3)Voice Signal 2.0 working "with" or "on" Motorola, Nokia, Blackberry and Palm phones??? (from your ihub post) The application has to be dowloaded from the "server" onto the phones whether it is Voice Signal, or OneVoice, in order for the application(s) to work... And whether or not they'd be "watching" me or not is of little concern for the average "honest" consumer -I'd care less, if my mother was listening!!!
These, in my opinion, are the very reason(s) why the pps is declining -"major investors" pulling out, because of the same concerns I am having!!! Our OneVoice doesn't seem to have the "right patents" to make it competitive enough to keep the "lesser technologies" behind it... As well as the inability to find the "right" advertisers to promote it's product. And "financing" this company seems to be a problem as well...
I am VERY CONCERNED about the future of this company and product... Sorry, just my opinion... Keep in mind that I still love this technology and have very high HOPES for it! I just WISH that things were PROMOTED better, that larger "investors" felt more CONFIDENT about this company, and that the COMPETITION wasn't so close on the heels, or even the toes of OneVoice...

In regards to my "concern #2," I've done a little more digging and have even talked to Rob Karbowsky, again today -he was actually in the office and took my call!!! He assured me that there will be a press release coming, as soon as Telmex allows OneVoice to do so... He also, "believes" that a PR will be coming soon as well regarding the "letter of intent," that took place between TATA & OneVoice this time last year...
Coincidentally, I talked to a Douglas Long at TATA Infotech., regarding the on-goings in India. In fact, the LOI is actually for India AND Asia!!! He forwarded a PR from about a year ago sighting the LOI:
Hi Robert, as discussed on the phone, I can confirm that Tata Consultancy Services does indeed have a business relationship with OneVoice Technologies. The relationship was initially with Tata Infotech, which merged with TCS towards the end of 2005. I've pasted below the text of a news release posted on BusinessWire from this time last year, which references the work TCS and OneVoice are partnering to achieve in India and other Asian markets (obviously, this was attended by the usual forward-looking statement disclaimers):
Business Wire, 31 July 2006 One Voice and Tata Consultancy Services Sign Agreement to Deploy MobileVoice Services in India and Throughout Asia
LA JOLLA, Calif. -- One Voice Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB:ONEV), developer of 4th Generation voice solutions for the Telecom and Interactive Multimedia markets, today announced that Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) (MUMBAI:TCS) (NSI:TCS), a leading global IT services and consulting firm with more than 70,000 employees in 34 countries, has signed a multi-year agreement to host and develop solutions around One Voice's MobileVoice(TM) services in India and throughout Asia. One Voice's MobileVoice service includes Voice-Dialing, Group Conference Calling, Reading and Sending E-mail and Voice-to-Text SMS Messaging, all powered by One Voice's patented voice technology.
Under the terms of the agreement, One Voice and TCS will jointly make telecom solutions -- initially developed by One Voice and tuned by TCS, using proprietary TCS technologies and solutions. TCS will host One Voice's MobileVoice service in India, and both companies will sell MobileVoice, along with additional mobile services to be developed for carrier customers, throughout India and the rest of Asia. TCS will invest in data center hosting, equipment, localization and resources to market these services, while One Voice will provide the base MobileVoice technology that will be localized by TCS for Indian language speakers.
"Our agreement with Tata Consultancy Services will enable One Voice to effectively reach carrier customers throughout India and the rest of Asia. The Tata name is highly regarded globally, especially throughout these regions for their outstanding quality and excellence as a global company," said Dean Weber, president and CEO of One Voice Technologies. "Over the past several years, we have been working with Tata Infotech who has considerable expertise and years of experience in the speech area to tune our MobileVoice service for Indian English speaking mobile phone users. The merger of Tata Infotech and TCS is very positive for our company and enhances our ability to work with the Telecom Practice in TCS to offer our services to their carrier customers. TCS will provide and integrate its own proprietary speech technologies with One Voice's MobileVoice services technology. This agreement is a first step in getting our MobileVoice services up and running in India."
"The Indian market for mobile voice services has exploded to more than 100 million today from 5 million in 2001 and will continue to grow at a phenomenal pace, as consumers want easier, faster and natural access to e-mails and other information while on the move. With increasing penetration of mobile devices, it is a win-win situation for both TCS and One Voice to customize and deliver such value-added services to telecom operators globally," said N. Sivasamban, global head, Telecom Practice, Tata Consultancy Services.

In addition Douglas said the he tried to get a hold of N. Sivasamban, who is in charge of all of this and he seems to be in India, on "vacation..." take that for what it's worth...
I still think that the ads for Iris are crap, and that Telmex/Telnor could have done much better. But, who am I to judge??? I'm just a Chef not a foreign marketing agent... (Yes, I still believe, and still have some doubts, and still hangin' in there...)

Thank you very much for your posts. The second post validates some information concerning an impending announcement of a deal in India that I've heard from other very reliable sources. We shall see.
I will agree with you that there is still risk & that we are by no means out of the woods. The recent decline in share price I see as more of a reaction to Bristol selling 4 million shares as well as a lack of a PR from Telnor.
I've been invested in a lot of penny stocks. I've lost money on some but made huge windfalls on others. In comparison to others I've never seen a penny stock handle conversion financing as responsibly & carefully as Dean. Matter of fact that's one of the main reasons I bought this thing. Bristol's recent sale of four million shares represents less than one percent of our OS.
Our entire AS is less than SIRI's OS when they finally caught Wall Street's eye. Back in March of 2003 We all knew the potential of satellite radio but we also knew that SIRI had missed their time lines so buyers kept waiting for news that would support SIRI's PRs. Some of us bought at .45, .50 & .55 because we wanted to own it before the momentum hit.
Like this stock we knew it was a gamble. The rest is pretty much history. SIRI broke through a dollar in May of 2003 & has never traded less than $2.60 a share since September of 2004. As I write this SIRI has over 1.45 billion OS and trades over $3 & have experienced highs above $9 a share. They have never reported a profit!
At the outside I say we declare profits no later than two years from now but my bet is we will not have to wait even one year. I am very comfortable to sit on this position & wait it out! Very best of luck to you!

... I know, I saw that, and OHHHH boy do I ever like toys!!! And so does every guy 40ish and under... Big Bucks Coming, Big Bucks... And I'll try to keep my skepticism to a minimal from here on out -we's got's to waits a little longer, but the windfall cometh, I can feel the trade winds pickin' up... Cheers.

Everyone who has taken an interest in this stock needs to know that another 219 million shares may be added to to the OS. I'm still holding but want everyone to know the risks.
This will effectively bring our OS to 859,533,061 shares. The company is on the verge of have their products offered by Telnor followed by their parent company Telmex. Hopefully they will not need to issue all of these shares prior to generating revenues that will allow them to break even.

Do you think that ONEV waited until they were off of the NASDAQ SHO list, before they released the info. about Ingram???... Could be an interesting end to the week, or the beginning of something big next week??? Cheers.

Just talked to Karbowsky: He says he "was anticipating the financials to be released late last week..." They are late, and he thinks maybe by the end of this week... Some joker on iHub thought they were "supposed" to come out today. Maybe people should call first before they make assumptions... Cheers.

Dilution is killing this thing & it looks like we will be going lower. We still need a PR from Telnor. From what I understand we will recieve $2.00 from each subscription from Telnor/Telmex but they need to move on this.
Also! Very interesting stuff. I do not know who found this but it appears to be directions to intergrate IRIS with Microsoft Outlook. That would be used by businesses.
