voice search now on sprint

Last week we launched our first Java product. It's available on Sprint handsets to start with. Its key differentiators are: Voice Enabled Search, only offering with People Search that connects to to an live operator if needed.

Our Java platform is quite unique as it is built on our own proprietary multimodal browser that uses a form of X+V authoring (we call it veXML). This gives us the unique ability to update the application at any point in time just by altering the XML on our servers.

While others (Microsoft Live Search OR Google Maps) require new application downloads, our product will evolve without requiring new application downloads.

We launched our first direct to consumer product : Freemobile411.com OR fm411.mobi

CTIA

This CTIA had announcements related to products VE (V-ENABLE) has launched and demoed a while back. Good to see the market is appreciating what we do. Key highlights were
- Voice search getting endorsement from major search company (Yahoo)
- 411 integration with data products continues.

We announced a broader product: A local search service that can be used on a mobile phone Or web. Search interface includes Voice, A live Operator (411) Or by typeded input. Our local search offering is the broadest in the market and caters to all types of consumer usage behavior.

Shortly we will be announcing a subset of our carrier product for consumers, stay tuned.

All in all, CTIA has left us quite busy as it has helped accelrate the need for technologies we have build over the last few years.
