Web Application On Call

Ditech is trying to come up with a way to talk to someone on a cell phone and accesss applications all at the same time without taking the handset away from your ears. You can be talking on the phone with someone and you want to know what movie is playing, you can accesss a voice service by saying certain keywords, like movie, and it will return a result while you are talking to that person.
They only problem I see with that is that sometimes when you use the voice service, it don't always hear the words correctly. You can say a word and it hears something else. Also, I would be skeptical of my privacy. Will it safeguard my privacy?

  1. This is a neat concept Barbara.

    I wonder how the service will distinguish whether you are talking to the voice system or the other caller.
