iVoice, Inc., a leader in speech recognition technology, announced today that it has authorized the filing of an International Patent Application that covers speaking medicine containers for Over The Counter Medicine Containers. The International Application will cover all of Europe, Canada, Mexico, Japan and Korea. With the iVoice patent pending technology, Over-The-Counter Medicine Containers will audibly tell users what medication is inside and the proper dosage, together with any other important directions and warnings. For example: "Take 1 tablet every 12 hours as needed, do not exceed 2 tablets in 24 hours unless directed by a doctor". Jerry Mahoney, CEO of iVoice, explained, "Given the size of the potential market and its expected growth, iVoice wants to be in the position to license this exciting new methodology on an international basis. The international patent will help us pursue this plan".
