Sound Choice Communications is located in Bloomington Minnesota, just 1/2 
mile west of the Mall of America. The address is: 7839 12th Ave S, 
Bloomington Minnesota 55425.  We are just South of Hwy494 on 12th Ave. 
-12th Avenue is one exit West of Hwy 77 (Ceder Ave).


This month we'll hear from Eric Osterberg and Shane Young about what we 
learned and saw at The O'Reilly Emerging Telephony Conference last month. 
We have demo software from our travels and can share with you our 
experiences at the show.

Cepstral software has released a new version of their text-to-speech 
software and we'll install it and show you how easy it is to use and 
review a few applications Shane and Eric have tried already. If you've 
been to a meeting in the past, you most likely have already heard good 
things from Eric and Shane and other members who are using Cepstral.

As a special treat! Cepstral is giving away two voice licenses at the 
meeting! Don't miss this meeting. Cepstral software is inexpensive and a 
fantastic value at 29 bucks, but come to the meeting and you might receive 
a FREE COPY!

In November we gave away an autographed copy of the O'Reilly book 
"Asterisk - The Future of Telephony". All three authors, plus Mark
Spencer
personally signed the book.

Please come and share your own ideas and learn from others. As always, 
free food.

We are always looking for help with meeting topics. If you feel like 
taking the lead, please do and simply let me know if you need anything.

Meeting starts at 11:30am and parking is available in the rear of the 
building. Runs about 2 hours or less, and we'll order Pizza to the meeting 
for lunch.

Look forward to seeing you there.
