Metaphor Launches Voice Recognition Applications for the iPhone

    WELLESLEY, MA, December 09, 2008 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Metaphor Solutions, Inc., a leader in Web 2.0 Interactive Voice Response (IVR) for businesses has launched two voice recognition applications, SayNDrive and SayNDial for the iPhone. Adding voice recognition to a mobile application, considerably speeds up the input of names and addresses to mobile phones compared to typing.

Both Metaphor applications are available for download from Apple's iTunes AppStore. SayNDrive has quickly made it to the top paid application in the Navigation section of the AppStore. As a result of the initial success of these applications, Metaphor will soon be launching new consumer as well as enterprise voice recognition applications for the iPhone and other mobile platforms.

SayNDrive allows users to say a U.S. based destination address and get both the route and directions from where they are. The application also allows users to search from over 10,000 business categories like movie showtimes, hotels, pharmacies, restaurants, gas stations near their current locations and get directions to the selected business locations. Further information about this application, including a video and a download to your iPhone, is available from the application website: SayNDrive.com.

SayNDial is a voice dialer application that allows users to say the full name, first name, last name, or company name for someone in their contact list, to automatically dial their number. By recognizing speech it's faster than thumbing through a customer's contacts and safer while driving. Further information about this application, including a video and a download to your iPhone, is available from the application website: SayNDial.com.
