CAMBRIDGE, MA--(Marketwire - March 5, 2008) - Vlingo Corporation today announced that two
executives have been selected to participate in keynote panels at the Voice
Search Conference 2008 in San Diego from March 10 through 12. Additionally,
vlingo executives will also take part in three other sessions throughout
the conference.
"Voice Search is an important conference addressing key issues that are
shaping the direction of the mobile market," said Dave Grannan, president
and CEO of vlingo. "As new applications become readily available on mobile
phones, there is a need to make them more easily discoverable and usable.
We're working on solving this problem at vlingo and are thrilled to be part
of the larger discussion at Voice Search."
Founder and chief technology officer Mike Phillips will participate in a
technical keynote panel on Monday, March 10 at 8:20 a.m. It will focus on
what is different about voice search technology (and what isn't). Panelists
will debate key questions defining voice search technology. He will also
participate in a technical session at 11:00 a.m. on the same day focused on
unstructured search. The session will be oriented toward handling long
lists and unstructured or "natural language" search requests.
Grannan will participate in the closing keynote session on March 12 at 3:15
p.m. that will address lessons attendees should take from the conference.
It will explore the most important messages for service providers,
enterprises, and their vendors from Voice Search. He will also be part of a
session on the same day at 9:45 a.m. that will focus on mobility and its
impact on new application opportunities such as location-based
applications. Grannan will discuss what is holding back mobile
applications.
Finally, John Elliott, vice president of sales, will present for vlingo in
the Demo Derby on Monday, March 10. He will provide a demonstration of
vlingo's voice-powered interface for mobile phones. Vlingo allows users to
speak into any vlingo-enabled text box to get accurate and easy access to
information, entertainment and communications on-the-go.
