Evoca Uses Podscope Spoken Word Search(TM) to Make It Easy to Find Relevant Audio

FAIRFIELD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 7, 2006--Visitors to www.evoca.com can easily find content of interest by searching for words spoken within audio files thanks to Evoca's integration of Podscope search. Podscope continuously updates its spoken word index(TM) of every word for every audio file added to the Evoca.com Web site, to make searching by the spoken word as easy and revealing as text searches on Google or Yahoo.

"Evoca turns every phone into an instant podcasting station," said Murem Sharpe, co-founder and CEO of Evoca. "We are big believers in the power of the spoken word, and by integrating Podscope search within Evoca, we've made it easier for our members to find content that is interesting to them, and expose what they have created to a global audience."

Since its launch in March, Evoca has attracted thousands of members from every continent recording in more than a dozen languages so far. In addition, Evoca users have integrated their audio recordings with MySpace, eBay, and business and personal blogs.

"An audio site without spoken word search is like an iPod without a click-wheel," said David J. Ives, president and CEO of TVEyes, Inc. "Evoca's integration of Podscope search provides its users with a rewarding search experience that reveals more content for finding new people with common interests than is possible by relying solely on search of limited descriptive text and tags associated with podcasts."
