Easy access and control of all common forms of electronic communication
offered in a 90 day free trial

Verb Exchange is offering use of their sophisticated communications system
under their TaglineTM brand in a 90-day in-use study now being conducted
throughout North America. TaglineTM employs voice and /or web commands to
manage local and long distance phone, fax, email and all related contacts.
Every caller to a Tagline identifies them self in their own voice so the
trialees can elect to accept the call or send it to voice mail without the
caller being aware of the decision process. This affords new levels of
security and delivers flawless caller identification to many blind and low
vision users for the first time in the lives. The overall goal is to build
the system to provide easy access and control of all common forms of
communication.

"Tagline let's me focus on what I'm doing rather than getting me mired down
in technology," said Alan Holst, an entrepreneur with 15 years of
experience managing and marketing Braille display and other blindness
products. "It is socially graceful, and it's extremely easy to master
relative to most access technology products and doesn't need any special or
expensive hardware. Considering the terms of this in-use study, I expect
thousands of people will want to give this a try".

  "We know the fantastic things that TaglineTM can do from a technical
perspective", said Nathanael Lineham, President & CEO of Verb Exchange.
"Now, we need to know how this sophisticated communications technology can
best serve the low vision market and how to facilitate easy adoption. When
we know that, we will know how to build the best user-friendly interface
for all people. To us, that is a very worthy goal justifying a large study
such as this."

Trialees authorized for the 90 day long in-use study will enjoy toll-free
long distance accessibility and calling throughout North America. Also
included is access to the fax and email capabilities of the system as well
as effective management of contact information and caller ID features.
These services are available at no charge beyond the $25:00 registration
fee to help cover the set up, contact entry and toll free number
assignment. More information is available toll free by calling
1-866-551-2122 or from the newly certified (NFB non-visual access)
site,  http://www.tagline.cc/ua  For internet discussion of Tagline and its
implications, join a discussion group by sending a blank email to
