mobile speech and handsfree solutions, today announced an
agreement with PCS Wireless to conduct a nationwide market test on
10,000 mobile phones.
Voice Assist® provides a conversational safe driving application
that lets drivers use voice commands 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.

their phones end users simply register the application online to
begin using the ‘handsfree solution’ immediately.

phones and smart phones we sell,” said Ben Nash, CEO of PCS
Wireless. “Voice Assist works on every phone we sell and provides
another value added service that our business partners have come to
expect from PCS.”
