LAKE FOREST, Calif. and
SANTA BARBARA, Calif.,
July 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Voice
Assist, Inc. (OTCBB:VSST) and Andrew Seybold Inc. today announced
the offering of a white paper for corporate mobile workers titled
"Working in Voice Mode." Written by Andrew Seybold Inc., this
"must have" paper highlights a complete, hands-free solution that
provides voice access for mobile workers regardless of what they
are doing with their mobile device. This includes voice
calls, text, emails, web surfing and accessing corporate data and
information. Voice Mode enables the mobile worker to use his or her
voice to complete these tasks.
"Andrew M. Seybold is one of the
most respected and influential analysts in the wireless industry
today and we are excited to share his insights on how corporations
can get their mobile workforce working in Voice Mode to help them
be more productive on the road while maintaining the highest level
of safety," said Michael Metcalf,
CEO of Voice Assist. "Voice Assist eliminates the need to look at
the phone and type. With a Bluetooth headset or speakerphone
and simple voice commands, mobile workers can keep their hands on
the wheel and eyes on the road while they dial, text, email or post
to programs such as Salesforce."
Today's 1.3 billion mobile workers have unprecedented access to
tools and systems to maintain their productivity while away from
their office or workplace. In today's busy "heads-down"
environment, texting has become a primary communication modality,
making data the new conversation. Additionally, there has been an
increase in the use of social networks as a collaboration tool
within the business and touch screens and multi-tasking
functionality have given people access to even more information
while they are mobile. Tasks that formerly were delayed until the
mobile worker was back in the office are now completed while on the
go and safe driving laws that have been enacted in 34 states in
the United States now mandate
hands-free communication as the only allowable means of
communication while driving across 68 percent of the country.
There is now a convergence of technologies and social trends.
Downloadable applications make both the smartphone and tablets
powerful business tools. In fact, many wireless customers now
spend more time on their devices using the keyboard than they do
using the voice features built into the device and networks.
This is a gap that is quickly growing within the mobile
worker community. Without an effective hands-free solution for
their business communications needs, mobile workers may:
- Suffer lower motivation and productivity while mobile or
roaming;
- Be placed at risk when using mobile devices while driving;
and
- Create a liability for the business owner and/or
corporation.
"Voice Mode is a game changer in the world of wireless
broadband. It finally gives us complete access to all of our
applications, email, and even our business applications without
ever having to touch a keyboard or touch screen. It adds an
additional level of safety not only in our vehicle, but no matter
where we are. What makes it so powerful is the ability of Voice
Mode to be customized to access and make use of any application
quickly and easily," said Andrew
Seybold.
