Loqu8 Insight Quickly Displays and Updates Microsoft Outlook Contacts

Mountain View, CA, December 08, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Since the introduction of Loqu8 Insight earlier this year, information workers are expressing enthusiasm for the first instant information solution that meshes key enterprise information with desktop applications. Today Loqu8 is releasing Insight 2.6 with integrated, real-time support for Microsoft Outlook® 2010 contacts plus web services from Google® and Bing®.

“For the 500 million users of Microsoft Outlook, Loqu8 Insight 2.6 extends a powerful new capability: immediate access to Outlook contacts while browsing the web, replying to emails or editing documents,” described Dr. Timothy Uy, President and CEO of Loqu8. “In the past users needed to stop what they were doing and take several steps to open an Outlook window just to see an email address, phone number or other contact information. With Insight 2.6, users merely point and the information is instantly shown with Insight’s popup window.”

* Seamless Integration with Desktop Applications *
Loqu8 Insight 2.6 is targeted at the growing base of business users who rely on cloud-based enterprise applications like Salesforce.com CRM, Microsoft SharePoint and Google Docs. Over 100 million licensees and users of these applications typically open a web browser window and navigate or search for information. Powered by Loqu8’s iNtuition™ engine, Insight improves performance and availability for these popular applications. Insight provides both LiveScan™ (single login; information is available immediately) and RealSync™ (real-time updates with remote updates).

Loqu8 Insight 2.6 quickly integrates search results, news and language translations with desktop applications like Microsoft® Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Access) through a single popup window. As a Windows resource, Insight easily works with web browsers, emails and other popular applications. No embedded plug-ins or special drivers are required to use Insight.

* Instant Access to Web Search, News and Foreign Language Translations *
Knowledge workers can conveniently access simple translations of emails and documents that were originally authored in another language. Unlike web-based translators that require a multi-step procedure (copy text, open a web browser, find a translator and paste the text), Insight users would only need to highlight text and the translation would appear in the Insight window.

Loqu8 Insight 2.6 supports computer-based, partial translations of: Amharic, Arabic, Armenian, Azerbaijani, Belarusian, Bengali, Burmese, Chinese (simplified), Chinese (traditional), Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Esperanto, Estonian, Filipino, Finnish, French, Galician, German, Greek, Haitian (Creole), Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Irish, Italian, Japanese, Kazakh, Korean, Kyrgyz, Lao, Latin, Latvian, Lithuanian, Luxembourgish, Macedonian, Malay, Mongolian, Nepali, Norwegian, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Sanskrit, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish, Syriac, Tajik, Thai, Tibetan, Turkish, Ukrainian, Uzbek and Vietnamese.

Since the science of machine translation is still emerging, some results may be incomplete or inaccurate. By coupling two translation engines, Insight users may compare translation results by selecting either Bing or Google for the most popular 14 languages: Arabic, Chinese (simplified) Chinese (traditional), Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish.

* Pricing and Availability *
Loqu8 Insight scales seamlessly from an enterprise-wide knowledge management platform (Enterprise edition) to solutions for functional teams and smaller organizations (Team edition). Insight is also available as a personal productivity tool for individuals (Personal edition). Key features for each edition include:
