Soliloquy Learning has been named as a finalist in the Mass Technology Leadership Council's 2007 Technology Leadership Awards for the category of Technology Developer - Emerging/Innovation.

The Technology Leadership Awards honor Massachusetts companies and individuals who best exemplify leadership and excellence in business and technology. Finalists were selected from a field of 180 candidates by the Council's Board of Trustees. A separate panel of judges will select the winners that will be announced at the Awards Gala on October 18th at the Westin Copley Place.

"We are thrilled to be recognized for this award," said Louise Dube, Soliloquy Learning President. "Seven years ago, we had the vision of helping children to become better readers through a computer program that could provide feedback to them while they read in the same way a parent or teacher does. Our vision has been recognized in the success of our speech recognition technology program called Soliloquy Reading Assistant."

"The Mass Technology Leadership Council is committed to fostering entrepreneurship and promoting the success of companies that develop and deploy technology across industry sectors and these awards are an important part of this effort," said Joyce Plotkin, president of the Mass Technology Leadership Council.
