Syspine was showing a key system based on Microsoft's Response Point speech engine at VoiceCon. This is intended for the small or medium-sized business, according to Syspine's Jerry Moore, and it's pretty elegant and simple. Or as Moore says: "A poor man's communications system."

Of course, Microsoft also has its larger communications system (OCS), but Syspine's solution is for offices of between four and 32 people. It's got a base unit and all of the hardware is self contained. The focus is on ease of setup and ease of use, with integration into Outlook on the PC, and using voice commands to dial and perform other functions.

Check out our video to see what Moore had to say.
