Voice
Assist®, Inc. (OTCBB:VSST), an award-winning provider of mobile
speech and handsfree solutions, today announced that it has expanded its
handsfree driving coverage area to include all major cities in Canada.
Voice Assist is the award-winning conversational voice assistant that
lets drivers use voice commands to answer calls, make calls, send and
receive text messages, read and reply to email or post to social
networks – without holding the phone or typing.
Drivers keep their hands on the wheel and their eyes on the road to
increase safety yet they can talk to Voice Assist in order to
communicate by voice or data and still be productive.
“Distracted driving is a serious problem in Canada too,” said Michael
Metcalf, CEO of Voice Assist. “Canada has over 22 million people with a
registered driver’s license and the average commute time is 26 minutes
each way. Larger cities like Toronto have even longer commute times.
That’s a lot of people potentially looking at their phones while
driving,” said Metcalf.
Voice Assist offers a simple solution that works on every phone and in
every car to provide a handsfree safer driving solution.
“There is no reason for anyone who drives in Canada to have their head
down looking at their phone anymore,” said Metcalf. “Now, anyone who
drives in Canada can just say what they want to do and it’s done and
they don’t even have to buy a new phone.”
Voice Assist provides a free version of its service that is ad supported
and offers an ad free version for just $4.95 per month. Drivers can also
add the optional Live Assist service which includes a live assistant to
provide turn by turn directions, restaurant reservations, traffic
reports, roadside assistance, travel reservations, hotel accommodations
and more. Live Assist can be added for just $10 per month more.
