Bell Atlantic NYNEX Mobile Introduces Intellivoice Voice Activated Dialing to New Markets

ATLANTA, GA -- Intellivoice Communications is pleased to announce that Bell Atlantic NYNEX Mobile has extended its roll-out of the Intellivoice EasyDial(TM) Voice Activated Dialing system to the Pittsburgh, PA, Greenville/Spartenburg/Columbia, SC, and Charlotte/Hickory, NC markets.

Marketed under the service mark TalkDial(SM), the new option provides a safe, accurate, simple, and convenient means to dial calls simply by speaking the number or by speaking a name stored in the caller's personal dialing directory.

"TalkDial gives our customers the convenience and added safety of being able to dial a phone number simply by speaking," says Jim Akerhielm, regional vice president for Bell Atlantic NYNEX Mobile's Southeast Region. "Now, customers can easily and conveniently conduct their business and personal matters without having to manually dial each phone number into the keypad."

Caroline Roberts, company product manager of TalkDial for the Southeast region said that the main benefit to the motorist "...is that it's hands-free. And it's fun!"

The proprietary Intellivoice EasyDial technology supports a broad range of regional accents with a high level of accuracy across a base of over 3.5 million potential Bell Atlantic NYNEX Mobile subscribers.

TalkDial is now available in five of the six Bell Atlantic NYNEX Mobile regions covering major cities across the Eastern United States including Boston, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Washington DC/Baltimore, and Greenville/Spartenburg. New York, the last major region, is slated to go on-line with the service later this year.
