Voice Assist and Tap Factory Announce Availability of “Contact” on the Apple App Store

Business Wire
Voice Assist, Inc. (OTCBB:VSST), today announced the general
release of the “Contact” app from Tap Factory Apps and Voice
Assist. Downloadable from the Apple App store, this integrated
solution provides a voice activated communications assistant for
all versions of iPhone. With no need for internet access, the Voice
Assist service works anywhere users have cell phone voice
coverage.
Optimized for hands-free driving, the new app allows users to
keep their hands on the wheel and eyes on the road while they dial,
text, email or post by voice. Through the Contact app, users get
one-touch access to Voice Assist services and can keep their iPhone
contacts in sync with the Voice Assist cloud address book. This
ensures that the Voice Assist assistant has the latest contact
information at all times.
Now with a single tap, drivers can send a text without typing by
just dictating their text message, and when they receive a text
message, Voice Assist’s patent-pending technology can read the
reply out loud. The hands-free multitasking user interface helps
people be more productive and safe while driving. “A voice user
interface designed for safe driving is different from a voice
interface used to speak and see things on the phone like SIRI,”
said Michael Metcalf, Voice Assist Chairman and CEO. “You need a
complete auditory interface to keep focused on the road.”
The software update already went out to 400,000+ existing
clients and is available for new clients to buy on the Apple App
Store. Mark Peterson, Co-Founder of TapFactory, commented, “Working
with Voice Assist to voice enable our existing app was simple,
straightforward and easy for our developers to do. Our clients love
the ability to use voice instead of pressing buttons. This is
opening up a whole new world as we consider what you can do by
voice with a single tap.”
