FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 

May 15, 2007
 

SANS Inc. Announces New Versions of Sony Soloist and Sony Virtuoso Software for
Enhanced Interactive Language Learning 

.North Branford, Connecticut..SANS Inc., the developer and exclusive licensor of
Sony
language learning software solutions, has released Sony Soloist Software version
7.7
and Sony Virtuoso Software version 3.7.  These latest versions add SANS features
that
further advance the scalability and flexibility of the Sony and SANS language
learning technology. 

"The new versions of the Sony Virtuoso and Soloist digital language learning
software
reinforce the SANS commitment to open dialogue with language teachers and
students.
This technology benefits the language learning experience by providing more
opportunities to communicate and interact in real world scenarios," said Ron
Remschel, SANS President. 

One of the new and exciting features is Soloist phone.  With Voice Over IP
(VoIP)
communication powered by SANSSpeak technology, students using their Sony Soloist
Digital Comparative Recorders on any networked PC can now "call or phone" each
other
and work in self-selected pairs.  Students may also leave a phone message if the
person they are trying to connect to is not available. This feature is optimal
for
independent study and lab assignments focused on developing listening and
conversational skills.  The "conversations" can be recorded with each speaker on
a
separate track, making it easy for a language instructor to assess each student
individually at any time. 

A scalable technology scheme also enables existing users of the Sony Virtuoso
and
Sony Soloist Software to upgrade their digital language learning technology at
any
time to enjoy the benefits of the added features.
