New "SayWhat" App Redefines Phone Calls by Bringing Voice and Text Together
TEL AVIV, ISRAEL, Dec 11, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
SayWhat Labs Ltd. today announced the availability of SayWhat, the
first smart phone app that allows users to send, accept or reject
phone calls with a personal message and emoticon. SayWhat directly
addresses the way people communicate today, with the rise of text
messaging and the growing perception that voice calls are sometimes
unnecessary, intrusive or even impolite. The SayWhat app eliminates
the barrier between voice and text by allowing both caller and
recipient to exchange a short message and emoticon as a voice call is
being placed. Similar in purpose to an email subject line, SayWhat
easily resolves the question of whether to place or take a call --
and provides a fun way to express the mood, topic or urgency of a
voice call.
"Despite innovations in phone calling such as caller ID or speed
dialing, you always had to answer the call to find out what it was
about," said Noam Wolf, co-founder and CEO of SayWhat Labs Ltd.
"SayWhat finally eliminates that issue. We believe this a milestone
technology that will have a widespread impact on the way people
communicate with their friends, family, peers and business
colleagues."
Free, Fast and Easy to Use
SayWhat is a free application that comes
with a wide variety of predefined messages and expressive emoticons
designed for use in different categories of calls including casual,
fun, work and love. Users are also able to write their own messages
or use their own emoticons when placing calls if they wish. Whether
it's a personal or business call, SayWhat provides the comfort of
knowing what a call is about before it starts. If a voice call is
inconvenient, the recipient can respond with "Sorry, I can't talk
now." Or if the call is urgent, such as in an emergency, the caller
can let the recipient know that he or she should pick up. In
addition, SayWhat also features an exclusive "Can You Talk " button
that lets users immediately see the availability of their contacts
without actually placing the call.
"Anyone who has ever wondered if they should answer a call can
understand why this app is a real game changer," added Wolf. "The way
we communicate today very often requires the ability to understand
and set the agenda for a live voice call. SayWhat does this in a way
that is not only functional, but also lots of fun."
Technology and Availability
SayWhat Labs developed the Enhanced Call
Information (ECI) technology that allows callers to enhance their
calls with text, icons and priority. The ECI layer is available
before, during and after calls and allows recipients to evaluate the
layer and decide whether to accept or dismiss the call. ECI is kept
for future reference and is available to users through the call log.
SayWhat is now available as a free app for Android(TM) devices in
Google play and is available in English, Spanish, German, Portuguese,
Russian, French, Italian, Hebrew, Korean, Japanese, Simplified and
Traditional Chinese languages. In the near future, it will also be
available as an app on iPhone(R) and Windows(R) devices. To view a
