Voice Assist, Inc. (OTCBB: VSST), an award-winning provider of
mobile speech and handsfree solutions today announced that it
has filed a patent application for Handsfree Radio™ for safe
driving with Audio Aware™ technology.
Voice Assist currently provides a safe driving application that
lets drivers use voice commands to make calls, listen to email,
read email, reply to email, send text messages, receive text
messages and post to social networks by voice without typing.
The user interface was optimized for safe driving with the
ability to issue command after command without the need to hold the
phone or press buttons repeatedly.
“As we began to study what drivers do that cause distraction, we
recognized that drivers press buttons to tune the radio or interact
with their mobile phone to listen to music content on their mobile
phone or to stream internet radio,” said Michael Metcalf, CEO of
Voice Assist.
We began to innovate new solutions to help prevent distracted
driving caused by music and not just texting. The result is our
patent pending Handsfree Radio™ with Audio Awareness™
technology.
The VoiceAssist® Handsfree Radio™ option will allow drivers to
say “what they want to hear” such as an artist, song, lyrics,
internet radio station or other keywords such as traffic or
news.
The content will then be played but remains “audio aware” of the
subscriber settings. In the event a subscriber gets a call, text,
email, tweet, post or instant message from anyone on their VIP
list, the audio content is paused, the message is read out loud and
the driver can respond by voice and then resume their listening
experience where they left off.
That patent application also applies to mobile advertising with
Audio Aware Ads™ that allow drivers to respond by voice after
hearing a radio ad. Drivers will be able to respond immediately by
voice such as like it, love it, hate it, buy it, connect me or send
me the coupon.
“Drivers in the 21st century want to stay connected and
communicate by voice or data or listen to the music content of
their choice – while driving. Voice Assist will allow drivers and
busy people on the go the option to do so while remaining
handsfree,” said Metcalf.
Voice Assist has 8 patents pending and continues to file
additional patents to build on its portfolio. Additional patents
pending involve click to call a virtual assistant, music search by
voice, voice dialing of contacts in an address book with continuous
updates and handsfree two way texting just to name a few.
