AEYE signed a contract with a unit of PearTrack. AEYE will license its technology to be integrated into PearTrack’s mobile assets monitoring/tracking applications.
According to the press release, it seems that this is a complete new application of AEYE’s technology. Until now, my understanding is that AEYE’s technology will convert text to audio and play it back to a user. Now this press release says that with AEYE’s technology, clients or end users can have an interactive dialogue. I thought that is NUAN’s lunch and now AEYE is eating?
… Through its collaboration with AudioEye, these applications will become audio-enabled, allowing users to both interact with and administer PearTrack’s proprietary software. The applications will have an interactive dialogue directly with PearTrack end-users and provide voice-driven feedback to data administrators. PearTrack’s technology is deployed in environments where eyes-free and hands-free data management can make the related jobsites and assets safer and ultimately more productive and secure.
…
PearTrack CEO, Bill Withrow, stated, “Voice technology powered by AudioEye’s platform will allow us to create groundbreaking new efficiencies and long-sought-after data, security and voice integration. We believe the benefits that our customers, end-users and other stakeholders derive from AudioEye’s voice technology will significantly influence our future growth, deal flow and market capture. When a vending machine can talk to the consumer, many benefits are derived, and efficient use of PearTrack tracking systems in combination with AudioEye’s technology should unlock new revenue streams. This innovation opens the door to exciting immediate and future new business opportunities.”
"PearTrack Systems was formed by the original founders of Minorplanet Ltd which was admitted to the London Stock Exchange in 1997.

The GPS vehicle tracking industry grew rapidly in the early nineties and the PearTrack Systems team were indeed pioneers, being instrumental in the development of the systems from which many modern GPS tracking systems are still based.
