Lernout & Hauspie's Troubles Mount

PROFILE |
 |
Lernout & Hauspie Speech Products (L&H) is learning some new lessons -- the hard way. Once a high-flying maker of speech recognition, dictation, and translation software, L&H was on a buying spree before debts and legal troubles ended its upward ride. Chip makers such as Intel and NEC licensed its development tools, and L&H had collaborative development agreements with companies such as Microsoft. L&H, which has been operating under bankruptcy protection, is selling assets to repay mounting debts. The company is also restating two-and-a-half years of earnings and is under investigation by the SEC and Belgian prosecutors. Co-founders Jo Lernout and Pol Hauspie (both battling charges of fraud) together own 30% of L&H.
