- Product Description
- Say Where is the first iPhone application for voice-entry to popular websites for mapping, business search, and reviews. Instead of typing, iPhone users just speak any "place" – any address, business, or point of interest. Users choose the mobile site to launch, such as Traffic.com, Yelp, Yellow Pages, and more. Say Where is powered by new voice-entry technology for mobile services and devices.
Here's how Say Where works:
- Speak into your iPhone and say any place – like "524 Broadway", "Delfina Pizzeria", "Golden Gate Bridge", or "dog parks".
- Then choose the website to launch!
Calling a business? Say Where - to YellowPages
Deciding on a restaurant? Say Where - to Yelp
Traffic conditions? Say Where - to Traffic.com
Say Where's simplicity across devices unlocks mobile content for mainstream adoption. Say Where is powered by patented innovation in speech recognition and geo-data technology developed by Dial Directions.
- Market Opportunity
- To date, mobile voice-activated search has been restricted to basic directory assistance, a $6 billion annual industry. Opus Research reports that by 2010 the market will expand beyond 411 services and grow to $7.2 billion, as consumers increasingly demand easier access to rich content made available on mobile devices.
- DEMO Says
- Last summer, Dial Directions demonstrated the value of voice as an interface for mobile driving directions. That was a trial run. Voice is the most natural and powerful UI for mobile communications, and Dial Directions has laid the foundation for a voice interface across a range of information services and devices. The result is elegantly simple, tremendously useful, and clearly pointing to the future of mobile usability.
