Without question, 2009 has been an important year for Issist. Issist has grown in the marketplace to an established leader for screen magnification solutions with partnerships with some of the largest names in the business.

As we continue to grow despite the recession, we are looking for a talented administrative executive to join our team. Watch for our careers section in the coming weeks for further details.

Issist just released iZoom 3.2. The latest version includes the high quality RealSpeak voice "Daniel", support for Unicode font smoothing and several other bug fixes as well. Our French speaking customers will be pleased to find a French version of iZoom as well with the Canadian French RealSpeak voice "Julie".

iZoom 3.2 is currently only available outside the United States. A version for the United States will be available shortly as well.

There has been considerable debate about the importance of trade shows in recent times. People argue whether companies really need to spend thousands of dollars to get the word out about themselves and their latest offerings, and for good reason. Preparing for trade shows is hard work. Exhibitors have to design and print flyers, banners, trial CD's. On top that, there's flights, car rentals, hotel reservations. Is all the effort and cost justified?

Issist exhibited at its first tradeshow ever at ATIA 2009 in Orlando, FL. The response to iZoom was overwhelmingly positive, especially the fact that it runs directly from a USB drive without installation. Ricky and I were very busy showing people the latest and greatest. The amount of recognition Issist received through just one show would be impossible to replicate without hundreds of man hours over the phone (if at all). We made many key contacts and have since engaged in alliances which will benefit our consumers all across the globe.

We believe trade shows are a great investment and so, we'll be exhibiting in March at CSUN 2009 in Los Angeles as well. We look forward to seeing you all there.
