Original Press Release:
VoiceSignal Launches Continuous 'Speech-to-Text' Dictation Application for Mobile Phones
WOBURN, Massachusetts, July 17 -- VoiceMode 2.0 now Available at the Nokia Software Market
VoiceSignal, the global leader in mobile voice technology solutions, announced today the release of "VoiceMode 2.0", the world's first continuous dictation solution for mobile handsets. Regardless of whether users have been text messaging for years or have never sent a text message before, VoiceMode makes creating a text message as simple as speaking into the phone.
VoiceMode 2.0 is an easy to use text input method that lets users create text messages by saying what they want rather than having to use the keypad. In addition to creating messages, VoiceMode 2.0 allows users to enter text into any text based application on the phone that uses text entry, including: SMS, MMS, email, notes, calendar, and office documents, simply by using their voice.
Users can launch VoiceMode 2.0 from any text based application by pressing on the talk button. Once activated the user simply dictates their message and VoiceMode converts the message from speech to text.
The VoiceMode dictionary has tens of thousands of words, so it covers almost all normal situations. In addition, words can be added to the dictionary allowing individuals to customize it to meet their own individual needs.
In making the announcement, Rich Geruson, VoiceSignal CEO stated, "VoiceMode 2.0 is another example of VoiceSignal's leadership in the development of applications that use speech to simplify the operation of a mobile phone." He added, "VoiceMode 2.0 lets people speak naturally to create text messages, documents or add text to applications like the calendar in a much simpler and more convenient manner than they could by just using the keypad. This is another very exciting breakthrough for VoiceSignal."
"We are excited about having VoiceSignal join the Nokia Software Market, and we believe the VoiceMode product proposes a very strong consumer value proposition and strengthens the product portfolio of our channel," said Tom Ojala, COO, Symmetria Software, an operator for Nokia Software Market.
VoiceMode 2.0 will initially be available for download onto selected Nokia devices and is available for download onto mobile phones through the Nokia Software Market site (http://softwaremarket.nokia.com) operated by Symmetria Software.
