What more, you don't even need to type in your location, you just need to speak through your cell phone and the Ask.com's voice activated system would give you the information that you need in a jiffy.



Cell phones are almost always synonymous to convenience. Ask.com Mobile added a little twist to their usual Directions service. The system is termed as Click to Speak. All you need to do is to log on to the site using the Internet browsing feature of your phone. Go to its Directions menu and instead of typing/ texting in your present location and destination, you can speak out the address where you are in. The voice-activated system would then recognize the location you mentioned and would send you an SMS message with links to directions. Ask.com mobile teamed up with Dial Directions to gives its costumers this brand new service.

To use Click to Speak for Directions on your mobile phone, you need to have a web-enabled handset to be able to log on to Ask.com's website. At the Directions link page, click on the "SPEAK your addresses" link. Upon clicking the link, you would be connected to a voice activated service. You would be asked about your destination, starting city, and its corresponding addresses. As soon as the call ends, you would be sent a link via text message. The link would contain the directions of where you are headed along with a map.

Ask.com's Click to Speak service is very convenient to use. It also put cell phone users out of harm's way because it eliminates texting. Typing in your phone, especially when driving, proved to be dangerous. With Click to Speak you are assured to get the directions that you need easy and hassle-free!
