The company seeks to drive further awareness for its best-in-class speech
recognition solutions, meet customers and partners and sign up new channel partners
to reach out to new markets.

Speaking on their plans, Mr. Sassine Mazraani, CEO of Emerging Technologies, says,
"GITEX, being one of the top ICT exhibitions in the region, is very important for
us. It is an ideal forum for us to meet key decision-makers from across the Middle
East under one roof. At GITEX this year, we will highlight our fully automated
speech recognition applications, which cater to specific business needs of
companies. With our voice-enabled solutions, people can use their natural voice,
language, dialect and accent to make telephone enquiries at anytime, from anywhere.
Callers will often not realise that they're actually conversing with a computer
system and not a human being. Callers will only need to Simply Speak their requests
into the telephone handset and we'll take care of the rest."

Emerging Technologies has built its reputation through delivering successful Arabic
(also available in English and Hindi) voice portals that automate informational and
transactional calls and offer enhanced security using state-of-the-art voice
biometric technology. These speech recognition solutions that provide a fully
automated human-like customer support process in Arabic (also available in English
and Hindi), add real value by eliminating the high levels of frustration that users
normally experience with traditional IVR and touch-tone menu systems. They also
significantly reduce the time it takes to handle incoming calls and queries, thus
saving businesses valuable time, money and effort. Further, it becomes a key
differentiator that gives businesses in the region the much desired competitive
advantage and helps increase productivity.

Emerging Technologies has successfully developed and deployed innovative speech
recognition solutions to some of the biggest and most respectable organisations in
the Arab world, such as: Dubai Civil Aviation, Dubai Financial Market, Etisalat,
Saudi Telecom, Kuwait Finance House and Doha Securities to name a few.

"Our state-of-the-art applications bring an end to the frustration customers usually
experience with the traditional touch-tone menu systems. Our speech applications
allow callers to check their bank account balance, transfer funds, book a flight,
make reservations, get stock quotes, trade, find business information, send and
receive emails, access voice portals and much more, using only a telephone at
anytime from anywhere," Mr. Sassine Mazraani adds.

The company will be showcasing Arabic (also available in English and Hindi) Speech
Recognition Solutions, which include services such as Hello Banking, Hello Brokers,
