Voice Assist, Inc., (OTCQB:VSST), today announced that it is
collaborating with Frankie Avalon, a teen singing idol from the
1950s and 1960s, to develop commercials reaching out to parents and
grandparents urging them to provide their teen-age family members
with Voice Assist’s hands-free speech technology solution as a safe
alternative to texting while driving.
“We are delighted to team up with Frankie Avalon who shares our
concern and passion to help people, especially teens, to drive safe
using our handsfree solution,” said Michael Metcalf, Voice Assist
Chairman and CEO. “Texting while driving is a dangerous combination
and illegal in many states. We’re excited to have such a well known
celebrity as Frankie Avalon to help create public awareness about
the Voice Assist handsfree voice activated solution.”
- Distracted driving has become the #1
reason for auto accidents.
- Every parent or grandparent should
ensure that their teens and family members have a hands-free
solution to reduce the potential for accidents or fatalities that
can be caused by texting and driving.
- Voice Assist offers a safer option and
enables drivers to use voice commands to make calls, send or
respond to text messages and e-mails, or post to social networks
such as Facebook and Twitter – all without looking at your phone or
typing.
Frankie Avalon commented, “I have eight children and ten
grandchildren so I want to know that my family as well as other
families are as safe as possible when driving and the Voice Assist
solution helps deliver the peace of mind that we’re all looking
for. I also appreciate the convenience and productivity-enhancing
features of the Voice Assist option for myself. I can issue a
voice command to deliver an email or a text message, which
eliminates the need to fumble with a phone’s sensitive touch screen
or a small keyboard - a real benefit for older eyes. I can also use
a voice command to initiate a phone call or post a message to my
grandkids on Twitter or Facebook. They all think this is super cool
and I love it because it’s so easy.”
Frankie Avalon was a child star who went from being a trumpet
playing prodigy at age nine, to one of the biggest teen idols of
the late 1950s and early 1960s. In 1959, his breakthrough hit
Venus, sold more than a million copies. Frankie went on to
Hollywood fame in many films such as the Alamo with John Wayne, and
the Beach Party movies with Annette Funicello and is well known for
his popular role as The Big Kahuna in Back to the Beach and The
Teen Angel in the wildly popular movie Grease. Frankie is always
busy, while performing and thrilling audiences around the
world.
