Press Release Summary: Nantes (France), October 15, 2007, Vision Objects, provider
of the industry standard in handwriting recognition software and text input methods
for mobile devices, will exhibit at the Symbian Smartphone Show 2007, the biggest
smartphone event of the year in London, Excel Centre on October 16 - 17, 2007.
Vision Objects will showcase its latest technology for the mobile market at Booth
28.

Press Release Body: With the development of multimedia and text based applications,
intuitive user interfaces are becoming an ever more important element for the
success of mobile devices. This has recently generated a growing demand for touch
screen phones, where stylus-based user interfaces enhance perceived product value,
accelerate product take-up and help providers increase ARPU. High quality
handwriting and gesture recognition are becoming vital for interactive navigation
and natural data input.

For the last 18 months, Vision Objects has adopted a strategy to provide the highest
accuracy in handwriting and gestures recognition and the widest scope of language
support to the mobile communications market. MyScript technology currently
recognizes 86 languages, the most recent being Arabic, Greek and Hebrew. These
linguistic resources are specially designed for small footprint mobile devices such
as smartphones, UMPCs, GPS and gaming consoles running on Embedded Linux, Symbian
and Windows Mobile.

By using MyScript handwriting recognition, mobile device manufacturers improve the
usability of handsets with touch screens and multi-touch technologies, which are
particularly important for high growth markets such as China, India and others. Text
messaging, contact management and email applications using natural text input with
the fingertip or with a stylus become more efficient and easy to use.

"The increasing popularity of touch screen mobile devices is very exciting for
Vision Objects. We strongly believe that MyScript handwriting recognition will play
a major role in improving user experience for mobile handhelds featuring mobile data
services", says Stefan Knerr, CEO and founder of Vision Objects. "The Symbian
Smartphone Show is a good opportunity for us to demonstrate our latest technology
developments to the mobile industry."
