empowers users by enabling them to navigate the Internet and listen to
information from any web site, using simple voice commands and any
telephone. netECHO’s patented technology provides content
from any Web site in real-time, going beyond traditional voice portal
features like news, weather, stock quotes and horoscopes. Customers can
also search any word(s) using favorite search engines like Google®,
Yahoo, Altavista® and MSN®. The streaming audio feature allows to
listen to music, Internet radio stations, and many other live
audio programs using a simple phone. Other key features include
Directory Assistance, On-Line Book Reading, and Shopping on selected
websites. Future versions of netECHO will
support shopping on all major websites, more complex transactions
including stock trading, banking and general e-commerce.
InternetSpeech's voice Internet service is ideal for a variety of
market segments, including:
- Senior citizens who
have difficulty in using computers or viewing small screens or
using a phone key pad;
- Those with
disabilities, particularly the visually-impaired and blind;
- People who don't own
a computer, or who don't have one readily available; and
- WAP or other small
screen-based phone users who want to hear real Internet content
versus reading limited, pre-packaged online information on a tiny
screen
