New-Loong Report: Ask Mobile Adds "Click To Speak" Direction

Ask's Mobile WAP site has added voice to the process of getting directions. The voice-activated service is provided by Dial Directions. On the mobile Ask site, beside the "Directions" link you'll find a new "Voice Entry" link. That sends users to the Dial Directions phone number (347-328-4667) or initiates a phone call. Users then verbally provide the requested location and destination information. The service sends a text link that opens a WAP page with a map and turn by turn directions. Dial Directions also has the capacity to provide text-only directions that don't require mobile browser access.
