Wizzard Software's WizzTones Product Receives Skype Certification

PITTSBURGH — Wizzard Software's (OTCBB: WIZD) WizzTones, a software application for Skype, has been Skype Certified through a worldwide co-marketing and licensing agreement.

WizzTones is a software product designed specifically for use with Skype, an application in global Internet communications. WizzTones provides Skype customers with a way to manage their Skype contacts list.  With WizzTones, customers can assign each individual on their Skype contacts list a personalized ring tone, giving them the freedom to walk away from the computer but still be able to identify just who is trying to get in touch with them.

In order to become Skype Certified, WizzTones was required to pass multiple Skype technical tests to insure proper compatibility with Skype and meet all of Skype's design standards.

Skype Certification allows WizzTones to take advantage of marketing, retail, and distribution opportunities with Skype, including: a listing in Skype's online store; an introduction of WizzTones to Skype's worldwide retail and distribution partners through the Skype Certification Catalog; and participation in select Skype events, promotions, and marketing initiatives.

This agreement also gives Wizzard Software the ability to use the Skype Certified logo in conjunction with WizzTones and all WizzTones marketing materials. 

WizzTones allow users to create customized "talking" alerts using Wizzard's online text-to-speech creation process. This feature provides the ability to produce an announcement alert, spoken in a computer-generated male or female voice, in up to 10 different languages.

WizzTones also allows users to search for and assign various ringtones offered by and purchased directly from Skype, including popular ringtones and sound effects. Users may also choose from the many free ringtones included with the WizzTones download.  Yet another feature of WizzTones allows users to create vocal ringtones using a microphone.
