Deal Gives Voice to MSN Instant Messaging
Yahoo | at | by Mike
Voice messaging company One Voice Technologies announced plans to integrate its MobileVoice Messaging system with Microsoft's MSN and Windows Messenger applications. Once the system is complete, One Voice said it will allow users of Microsoft's instant messaging platform to send and receive messages using any phone. The nifty part of the technology is that it does not require a user to spend 20 minutes punching keys on a handset -- messages are sent using only voice.
One Voice has been developing this technology for some time now. In August, the company announced it was beta testing this "fourth-generation" voice-to-text messaging platform with several wireless carriers.
