US Cellular Launch Two Voice Activated Multimodal Customer Applications
SAN DIEGO
, Calif.
- US Cellular has launched two multimodal applications for their customers developed by Phonetic Systems and V-enable. SAY IT. BIZFINDER and SAY IT. TONEFINDER allow callers to use simple voice commands, instead of having to triple tap buttons to enter text, in order to download information, directions and ring tones.
SAY IT. BIZFINDER is a multimodal directory assistance application that will allow callers to search, find, and locate business listings nationwide by simply speaking their input. It retrieves driving directions, maps, placing a call and other applications.
SAY IT. TONEFINDER allows users to search, select and download ring tones using their voice. For example, users can speak the name of the artist or song title, and retrieve the ring tones that match their input, instead of having to type in the text on a small keypad.
The combined applications received over twenty thousand hits in the first week of availability.
SAY IT. BIZFINDER and SAY IT. TONEFINDER are currently available on BREWTM enabled phones.
