COLUMBIA, S.C.-Conita Technologies Inc. has a simple plan to provide business people easy access to company databases using voice-recognition technology with a tool they already have and already know how to use: the mobile phone.
Conita’s “personal virtual assistant” technology transforms any mobile-phone into a voice portal, enabling remote access and transactions over the telephone-reaching into databases, personal information and company information, including e-mail, voice mail, faxes, contract data and schedules.
By staying clear of the voice-recognition software market, which the company sees as muddled with claims that don’t seem to pan out in the real world, Conita can provide the technology needed to allow corporations to use the voice-recognition software of their choice and integrate it seamlessly.
“We are not another `dot-com’ out there to make a product and turn the quick buck,” explained Lawrence Vertal, vice president of marketing for Conita. “We want to provide a useful technology that fits a businesses needs.”
