Voice Assist and Andrew Seybold Inc. Offer Mobile Professionals New White Paper, "Working in Voice Mode"

LAKE FOREST, Calif. and SANTA BARBARA, Calif., July 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Voice Assist, Inc. (OTCBB:VSST) and Andrew Seybold Inc. today announced the offering of a white paper for corporate mobile workers titled "Working in Voice Mode."  Written by Andrew Seybold Inc., this "must have" paper highlights a complete, hands-free solution that provides voice access for mobile workers regardless of what they are doing with their mobile device.  This includes voice calls, text, emails, web surfing and accessing corporate data and information. Voice Mode enables the mobile worker to use his or her voice to complete these tasks.

"Andrew M. Seybold is one of the most respected and influential analysts in the wireless industry today and we are excited to share his insights on how corporations can get their mobile workforce working in Voice Mode to help them be more productive on the road while maintaining the highest level of safety," said Michael Metcalf, CEO of Voice Assist. "Voice Assist eliminates the need to look at the phone and type.  With a Bluetooth headset or speakerphone and simple voice commands, mobile workers can keep their hands on the wheel and eyes on the road while they dial, text, email or post to programs such as Salesforce."

Today's 1.3 billion mobile workers have unprecedented access to tools and systems to maintain their productivity while away from their office or workplace. In today's busy "heads-down" environment, texting has become a primary communication modality, making data the new conversation. Additionally, there has been an increase in the use of social networks as a collaboration tool within the business and touch screens and multi-tasking functionality have given people access to even more information while they are mobile. Tasks that formerly were delayed until the mobile worker was back in the office are now completed while on the go and safe driving laws that have been enacted in 34 states in the United States now mandate hands-free communication as the only allowable means of communication while driving across 68 percent of the country.

There is now a convergence of technologies and social trends. Downloadable applications make both the smartphone and tablets powerful business tools.  In fact, many wireless customers now spend more time on their devices using the keyboard than they do using the voice features built into the device and networks.  This is a gap that is quickly growing within the mobile worker community. Without an effective hands-free solution for their business communications needs, mobile workers may:

• Suffer lower motivation and productivity while mobile or roaming;
• Be placed at risk when using mobile devices while driving; and
• Create a liability for the business owner and/or corporation.

"Voice Mode is a game changer in the world of wireless broadband.  It finally gives us complete access to all of our applications, email, and even our business applications without ever having to touch a keyboard or touch screen. It adds an additional level of safety not only in our vehicle, but no matter where we are. What makes it so powerful is the ability of Voice Mode to be customized to access and make use of any application quickly and easily," said Andrew Seybold.
