Hango formed a Multimedia division in 1997, specializing in digital products.

Hango approached MASCO with a portable MP3 player that they wanted to market in the U.S. Unfortunately, this product was not unique and not very competitive.

MASCO recommended a more innovative product combined and MP3 player with a voice-to-text recorder. Hango could do the much of the product development but they needed expertise in voice-to-text technology. MASCO developed a set of specifications and enlisted the support of one of its engineering associates for the additional technology needed.
