HeyAnita, which offers proprietary technology enabling consumers to harness the power of the Net by dialing a toll-free number to obtain information, access services, buy products and manage daily activities by voice, announced that Yahoo e-mail users can now have their e-mail read to them. As more companies are looking to voice-enable their businesses, the search is on for a reliable product. HeyAnita offers a turnkey solution, making voice applications a cost-effective and time-saving venture to implement. "Soon, consumers are going to expect every company to offer voice access to information," a HeyAnita spokesperson said. "However, most companies that want to voice-enable their services cannot do so on their own because they don't have the infrastructure, budget and voice technology expertise to build large applications. In the early stages of this rapidly growing market, HeyAnita is taking the lead to make this a reality by offering a complete end-to-end solution."
