Metaphor Launches Voice Recognition Applications for the iPhone
SayNDrive and SayNDial Enable
Dialing and Getting Directions by Voice
WELLESLEY, MA, December 9, 2008 – Metaphor Solutions, Inc., a
leader in Web 2.0 Interactive Voice Response (IVR) for businesses has
launched two voice recognition applications, SayNDrive and SayNDial for the
iPhone. Adding voice recognition to a mobile application, considerably speeds up the input of
names and addresses to mobile phones compared to typing.
Both Metaphor applications are available for download from Apple’s
iTunes AppStore. SayNDrive has quickly made it to one of the top paid applications in
the Navigation section of the AppStore. As a result of the initial success of these applications,
Metaphor will soon be launching new consumer as well as enterprise voice
recognition applications for the iPhone and other mobile platforms.
SayNDrive allows users to say a U.S. based
destination address and get both the route and directions from where they are.
The application also allows users to search from over 10,000 business categories
like movie showtimes, hotels, pharmacies, restaurants, gas stations near their
current locations and get directions to the selected business locations. Further
information about this application, including a video and a download to your iPhone,
is available from the application website:

SayNDial is a voice dialer application that allows users to say the full name,
first name, last name, or company name for someone in their contact list, to
automatically dial their number. By recognizing speech it's faster than thumbing
through a customer’s contacts and safer while driving. Further information about
this application, including a video and a download to your iPhone, is available
