- Market Segment
- Consumer
- Funding
- Venture funding from California and Hong Kong–based venture groups, $2.5 million.
- Competitors
- No direct competitors. Secondary competitors include portable digital voice recorder manufacturers and phone recorder software and hardware solutions (e.g., One Voice’s voice messaging technology).
- Product Description
- By enabling consumers to use their phones or computers to record anything they say the instant they think of it, reQall helps users remember important numbers, thoughts, tasks and events. It speech recognizes and organizes the recordings and then sends reminders. Users can even search their recordings for key words.
- Market Opportunity
- As more and more information gets exchanged, individuals need a new way to organize and to remember it on a timely, contextually relevant basis. QTech addresses this by leveraging two key trends: the growing use of voice as a means to exchange information on devices such as laptops, handhelds and cell phones (a market of $485 billion Euros by 2010, according to Nokia); and the integration of speech applications and platforms as a core component of mobile voice (a $10 billion market by 2008, according to Frost and Sullivan).
- DEMO Says
- If you’re like most humans, you do your best thinking away from a computer—sitting in traffic, standing in line or talking to someone at a party. Moments, in other words, in which you don’t have a pen and paper. How great would it be to speed-dial a number, dictate your thought and go about your business? When you return to your computer, you’ll have an email waiting for you reminding you to call Bob about that presentation. Or patent that million-dollar idea you had at the red light. QTech’s reQall application couldn’t be simpler on the surface. But its sophisticated speech recognition and keyword searchability make this a product none of us can afford to live without.

Personal digital assistant reQall (DEMO 07) has launched reQall 2.0 (beta) - a key feature is users can be reminded in multiple ways: cell phone, text messaging, instant messaging, email, or Web.
reQall 2.0 helps others to remember with its shared reminder functionality. Users simply add their friends, family, or business contacts to their reQall profile and the reQall system takes responsibility for setting and sending reminders to them in the format that they choose.
Although built on complex technology, reQall is fundamentally easy to use. There is no
software to install, and no technology to think about – a voice and a phone is all that is
needed. Simply tell reQall and it does the rest: if you mention a grocery item, it will automatically be added to your shopping list; if you mention a friend’s name and say ‘ask’, a reminder will automatically be sent to that friend.
Here’s an example of how you can use reQall:
• Dial reQall’s toll-free number and say “buy Easter gifts before 5pm today.”
• The message will immediately be converted into text and delivered in whatever
way you specify.
• The reminders can be sent as an email, added to your calendar, as a text message, via instant messaging, automatically added to your to-do list or sent to a
friend or family member.
Although reQall works on any phone, it is optimized for Apple’s iPhone, where it acts as a personal and sharable Task Manager. reQall 2.0 is available for free on 1-888-9REQALL (1-888-973-7255) and at www.reqall.com.
