Press Release Summary = Nantes, France, May 16th 2006, Vision Objects, provider of
the industry standard in handwriting recognition technology for pen based user
interfaces, announces today the release of MyScript Builder Embedded 1.2 dedicated
to mobile devices. This new version features additional languages, offers better
accuracy and is now also available for Linux.

Press Release Body = MyScript Builder Embedded is the only solution on the market
able to recognize truly natural handwriting on Linux and Symbian Operating Systems.
This Software Development Kit is designed for integration of handwriting recognition
capabilities into small footprint platforms such as PDAs, Internet Tablets and
Smartphones. It recognizes all handwriting styles in a wide range of languages and
addresses markets in the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific.

MyScript Builder Embedded helps manufacturers to create user-friendly, fast and
interactive pen based text input methods for a wide range of Personal Information
Management applications varying from sending e-mails or SMS messages, to contact
management and note taking using the handset to provide interactivity and feedback.

MyScript Builder Embedded provides natural handwriting recognition technology that
imposes no writing constraints on users with virtually no learning curve. It
includes the recognition of gestures that allows mobile users to write naturally, to
insert spaces and line breaks, and to easily correct text by removing characters
with a simple and intuitive gesture. This is particularly useful for entering text
messages or notes with a stylus on the mobile device.

One of the most innovative aspects of MyScript Builder Embedded 1.2 is its capacity
to integrate the use of bi-class language models. Bi-class models calculate the
probability of pairs of words occurring together in order to increase overall
accuracy. This release also supports a new language pack for Norwegian.

In addition to Symbian and Windows CE, MyScript Builder Embedded 1.2 now also runs
on Linux. The support of a wide range of operating systems allows mobile device
manufacturers to integrate MyScript handwriting recognition in most platforms, and
thereby guarantees the same user experience in any environment. Even proprietary
operating systems can be supported on demand.

"This new release demonstrates Vision Objects' ongoing investment into the
development of innovative handwriting solutions for the mobile communication market"
says Stefan Knerr, CEO and founder of Vision Objects.

MyScript Builder Embedded is currently part of the Nokia Digital Pen Suite, enabling
handwritten notes to be sent via S60 devices or Series 80 communicators. "The
handwriting recognition capabilities of MyScript Builder Embedded offer the user an
intuitive way of both messaging and processing handwritten text, enhancing the rich
feature set of Nokia devices," says Tatu Lund, Product Manager, Enhancements, at
Nokia.
