Voice Assist Files Patent Application for Next Generation Home Phone Service

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 its Next Generation Home Phone Service.

Voice Assist® currently provides a safe driving application that lets drivers use voice commands from their mobile phone 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.

“Now we plan to reinvent what happens when consumers dial zero from their home phone,” said Michael Metcalf, CEO of Voice Assist.

According to Metcalf, using a specially configured internet adapter, consumers will be able to unplug their existing phone from the wall jack and then plug into the internet adapter to route all calls over the internet.

When consumers dial zero the technology reroutes the subscriber to a voice activated assistant while preloading contacts, email, social networks and more into the grammar so the voice assistant is ready to understand each subscriber’s unique contacts and data communication preferences.

Subscribers using a standard analog phone will soon be able to use voice commands to dial by name, listen to email, reply to email, send email, send or receive text messages or even post to social networks all by using voice without typing.

Analog home phones were only used to make calls, but with this new technology they can be used as a voice activated terminal to communicate by voice or data.

The patent application also incorporates “conversational search™” that will allow consumers to order pizza, order groceries, make travel reservations, check the weather, or search the web for nearly any information by having a conversation with a voice activated assistant.

“Voice Activated assistants aren’t just for mobile phones anymore,” said Metcalf. “Now anyone with a home phone can do more by voice.”

Voice Assist now has 9 patents pending and continues to file additional patent applications to build on its portfolio. Additional patents pending involve technology that enables users to click to call a virtual assistant, search for music by voice, voice dialing of contacts in an address book with continuous updates, handsfree two way texting, Handsfree Radio™ and now dial zero for conversational search from a home phone.
