June 3/11With Commobility already acquire months earlier, INT announced another patent application for mobile. Intertainment’s Ortsbo Debuts Patent Pending “Head To
Head” Translation Technology for Tablet Devices
NEW YORK / LOS ANGELES / SAN MATEO / TORONTO – June 3, 2011 – Intertainment Media
Inc. ("Intertainment" or the "Company") (TSXV:INT / OTCQX: ITMTF / FRA: I4T) announces
that Ortsbo (www.ortsbo.com), the real time experiential translation platform, is debuting its newest
patent pending technology today at Social Media Camp, in Victoria, British Columbia. The application
technology, known as “Ortsbo to Ortsbo” or “O2O”allows multiple users to engage translation services on
the same tablet computing device. Using the app, users will have up to 2 “head to head” keyboards and
displays allowing for 2 languages to be communicated in a free flowing style of conversation without the
need for guides or other translation devices. Smaller devices will have the ability to display additional
language keyboards based on motion, or “tilt” of the device.
The O2O app was developed internally at Ortsbo with the support of the Commobility mobile
development team. The app, once approved for distribution will be available for purchase through
various online marketplaces.
The app will initially be available for the Apple iPad and will be forthcoming for other tablet and touch
devices in the near future. O2O is a perfect complement for travelers who find themselves in a location
where they don’t speak the local language and wish to interact in a recreational or commercial setting.
Initially O2O will support 53 languages through Ortsbo’s real time chat platform and with the upcoming
release of Ortsbo 2.0 scheduled for calendar Q4 2011, the system will be upgraded to allow interaction in
over 80 languages around the world. With Ortsbo 2.0, O2O users will be able to add additional terms,
phrases and terminology to the Ortsbo translation wiki in almost any language.
“Ortsbo O2O will allow people around the world to use their iPad and eventually any tablet or touch
device to carry on multiple language conversations, immediately and in person, allowing all parties to
communicate freely through a single device,” said David Lucatch, President of Ortsbo / CEO
Intertainment Media.
Ortsbo recently launched, ahead of planned schedule, the alpha release of its Ortsbo for HTML on the
Microsoft Windows Azure platform, providing a cloud application for real time experiential translation
chat. The original version of Ortsbo using Microsoft Silverlight, enabling 12 of the world’s most popular
chat networks, will remain in operation for the near future. When initially launched in July 2010,
Ortsbo’s social media translation platform infrastructure was designed to handle the expected first 2 to 3
years of operations or 12 Million monthly users. Ortsbo exceeded all growth projections in its first 9
months and has continued to operate to maintain the increase in user growth and with Microsoft’s
Window Azure platform integration has developed a virtually unlimited operational environment to
service user needs globally.
Ortsbo Mobile:
Ortsbo is currently developing a number of mobile and tablet apps allowing users around the world to
use Ortsbo services on their smartphones and portable computing devices. As previously announced,
Ortsbo has launched a beta version of its iPhone App and additional apps are slated for Summer 2011.
Ortsbo’s new HTML platform currently allows mobile access through mobile browser applications,
including iPads.
