me2me, which supplies “web and voice services” has merged with iSpeech, which provides digital dictation products and voice technology. The merged company will operate under the me2me brand, and will deliver iSpeech’s dictation, workflow management and speech recognition product Frisbee as a downloadable mobile app called Frisbee Smart.

Frisbee facilitates, organizes and speeds up cooperation between experts and administrative staff in environments where spoken text has to be transformed into structured documents. Core markets are legal, healthcare, public authorities and administration. The integration of all relevant professional dictation machines and mobile phones enables a free choice of brands. Thousands of doctors, lawyers and other specialists worldwide are already playing their file notes, findings, memos and other correspondence to their back-office as a Frisbee service.

The new Frisbee Smart offering will run alongside me2me’s traditional web and voice services to enable mobile network operators and service providers to retain their customers and attract new ones. The basic me2me service provides users with the possibility to store and retrieve private information using their voice, through a phone call. me2me is constantly expanding its products and services and says it will offer digital dictation services for all leading smartphone operating systems.

“We are extremely excited by the merger,” says me2me CEO, Peter Hauser. “iSpeech has a strong heritage in digital dictation services, with systems operating in the UK, Ireland, Denmark, Germany, France, S. Africa and Switzerland.

“Using the natural synergies between me2me’s portfolio and iSpeech, and the ubiquity of mobile devices services, we aim to expand Frisbee worldwide. By the third quarter this year we will have launched the Frisbee Smart solution. We will be the first company in the world to come to market with full dictation services and features service for workstation- and server-based dictation with fast-forward, rewind, insert and more features integrated into smartphones.”
