Move over GOOG–411 or CALL-411, here comes Dir-Ect-Ions (347 328 4667). As they say, one swallow doesn’t make a summer. However the number of voice recognition applications coming on stream shows how popular these are. As K.C. Jones reports, a Free Cell Phone Direction Service Gets Voice Recognition Boost.
Parent company, Dial Directions said its free service, DIR-ECT-IONS, is now available in all cities in the continental United States. The service relies on speech recognition and voice interface technology. New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and other metro areas launched a limited release over the summer.
Callers dialling 347 328 4667 tell the voice-activated service their originating location and their destination and receive instant text messages with MapQuest driving directions. Callers can also ask for chain restaurants and businesses and receive directions to the nearest location. Their new mobile feature, Meet Me, lets cell phone owners schedule social events, invite friends and send them directions by placing a free cell phone call.
With such voice-based applications, one almost forgets how you used to let your fingers do the walking.
