About eVt, in their own words (and their bios, in Word):

The
ability to communicate has been one of the greatest and oldest boundaries that
humanity has faced. Communication through language plays an integral part in
activities ranging from receiving proper medical assistance to sharing ideas.
Problems arise when language barriers or physical challenges prevent people
from communicating their wishes or needs through language. eVt changes all
of this. Those who formerly could not share their thoughts can use eVt as a
medium for the transmission and expression of ideas. eVt is an application
designed to enable the use of technologies such as speech-to-text,
text-to-speech and language translation in series with such devices as
Smartphones, personal digital assistants (PDAs) and laptops with the purpose of
overcoming the boundaries of language.

eVt
uses the key technologies Visual C#®, ASP.NET, Microsoft®
.NET Framework 1.1, Microsoft Speech Application Software Developer Kit 5.1,
Windows® XP Professional, Windows 2000 Server, Microsoft Windows Mobile™ 2003 for Pocket PC Software Development Kit.
