TORONTO—CellWand Communications has announced the launch of Pound Taxi (#TAXI), a new cellular service that will allow callers to obtain the first available taxi in any of more than 400 Canadian cities.
Users simply dial #-T-A-X-I and say the name of the city, province and taxicab company they prefer to use. They also have an option to say “TaxiWizard” and a search engine will connect them to the first available cab company in the area.
CellWand’s new service operates on the Rogers AT&T network and uses voice recognition software from Nuance.
