 ==========================================================================
The LINGUIST List strongly encourages employers to use
non-discriminatory standards in hiring policy. In particular we urge
that employers do not discriminate on the grounds of race, ethnicity,
nationality, age, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. However, we
have no means of enforcing these standards.

Job seekers should pay special attention to language in ads regarding
employment requirements and are encouraged to consult our international
employment page http://linguistlist.org/jobnet.html.

This page has been set up so that people can report on the employment
standards of various countries.

Description:

We call on you to break through the boundaries. The boundaries between
text and speech, between paper and the digital world, between the
present and the future. For that is exactly what we do at ScanSoft
(Nasdaq: SSFT). More than 500 employees worldwide are leveraging more
than 15 years of commitment to develop unique innovations in the
digital imaging software, speech and language technologies. We are
backed with the expertise that has taken the industry to new
levels. We develop, support, market and sell award-winning software
applications, SDKs and technologies that enhance the user's experience
across multiple harware platforms. This by capturing and converting
paper documents and photographs into digital files that can be easily
edited, organized and shared on PCs and over the Internet, by allowing
users to enter text onto their PCs simply by speaking, or by enabling
computers to interact with customers by having text read to them. That

growing track of continuing success. Break through the boundaries.  We
