AdelaVoice Announces New Features for StartTalking, Further Advancing the World’s True Eyes- and Hands-Free Text Messaging Application for Mobile Phones
StartTalking enhances voice recognition technology; adds voice dialing and additional features
BOSTON (Dec. 15, 2010) - AdelaVoice today announced an upgraded release of StartTalking, the world's first smartphone application that lets motorists keep their eyes on the road and hands upon the wheel while creating and sending text messages. This new version, which is available immediately and is free, features additional voice recognition technology and new functionality, including voice dialing, voice navigation, the ability to personalize the phone’s name and greeting, updated application home screen, and enhanced Facebook and Twitter integration.
StartTalking’s latest version offers users a truly “conversational” service unlike others on the market. Key features of StartTalking include:
- Composing, sending and receiving text messages
- Incoming text messages are read aloud
- Initiate phone calls simply by speaking the name of the person to be called
- Personalize the phone’s name and greeting
- Integration with other applications and services including Twitter, Facebook and chompSMS
- and much more …
“We’re offering rock-solid reliability and performance with StartTalking,” said Chris Hassett, AdelaVoice CEO. “Thanks to the many users who sent feedback, we enhanced StartTalking to meet the highest quality level available for a voice-activated service.”
With StartTalking, users simply speak commands, dictate messages and listen to messages without having to touch a single button or look at a screen. People simply speak their phone’s pre-assigned name, which “wakes up” the handset and initiates a dialog through which the user dictates and sends messages. The app is also capable of creating audio recordings in a user’s voice which can be sent to any mobile smartphone. Recipients then hear the message in the sender’s voice which ensures communication is personal and always 100 percent accurate.
StartTalking works with smartphones running Android 2.0 or later and can be downloaded from the Android Market or by using an Android phone’s browser to visit http://m.starttalking.com. Visitors using personal computers to access the StartTalking website can also send an SMS download link to their Android phone. StartTalking works with wired headsets or an Android handset’s speakerphone function.
