WordExpress^® was developed in 1995 as an interface to sits between a speech recognition engine and a 3^rd party application into which text is dictated. At that point, and for some time after, speech recognition products only allowed dictation into their own specific "dictation aware" applications. So when dictated text was required in other applications the only method available was to copy the text from the dictation application into the desired application, a somewhat tiresome chore. WordExpress removed this chore, and others, by allowing dictation directly into the chosen application.

WordExpress^® has received much praise over the years including an innovation award from the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) acknowledging AllVoice’s efforts.

Certain features and functions of AllVoice software developments have now been awarded patents and others are pending in many countries.
