Sprint PCS Let's You Take Control with Voice Dialing

Sprint PCS Voice Command gives callers the ultimate ease in making cellular phone calls -- dialing by voice. Nuance's highly accurate, scalable voice recognition software provides the muscle behind Voice Command™, Sprint PCS' cutting-edge nationwide voice-activated dialing service.

Subscribers can place calls, access directory assistance and update their address books simply by speaking into their cell phone. And it's available from any Sprint PCS phone. Just press * and the Talk button to sign up.

Value-added services allow traditional and wireless carriers to maintain a competitive advantage and increase revenues, while at the same time dramatically improving customer satisfaction and convenience. Hands-free services such as voice-activated dialing also provide additional safety measures helping mobile phone users to keep their eyes on the road, not on their phone.

<<<Can we consider NUAN as the leader??>>>

Yes, at the moment, NUAN has the wider customer base/more partnerships. And going by total product sales, they lead SPWX in that category as well. So yes, NUAN is the leader.

<<<Processor Limitations>>>

There is no processor limitations on the user end, all you are doing is making a simple voice call. All the processing is on the server-side...so there is no such thing. You might be thinking of dictation software perhaps (which Lernhout and Hauspie makes)...now thats where processor limitations have held back adoption...but thats a totally different matter.

Cap

P.S. Bought some at around 100 as I said I would, just not as much as I would have liked, unfortuneately.

P.P.S. INTC news was GREAT for the market (unless of course you were heavy on the semis, which I luckily wasnt)...caused a rotation out of the Semis and into other, faster growing areas of tech (like NUAN). That was the sort of washout the market needed to move forward out of the trading range we've been stuck in for months...
