It’s Pope-Mania here in New York today, and, soon, Passover time (Chag Pessach Samaiach V’ Kasher!). Anyway, religion aside, let’s talk about directory assistance - it doesn’t get much more agnostic than that. So, once again, it’s time to test out some speech products. This time, we’re aiming our sights on V-ENABLE. And since I’m sadistic, or just a responsible editor, I’m making Ryan test it out with me. We’ll be test-driving V-ENABLE over the weekend. It’s a directory assistance company that also offers access to live operators if needed. That’s great, because when you live in the city and are on a crowded street, GOOG-411 usually catches the woman next to me yelling at her child, not me saying “BARNES AND NOBLE.”

We’ll report back to you next week with our results. We here at Speech Tech are some tough critics - we only give out two ratings: fail, or succeed. So, with that in mind, let’s V-ENABLE knocks our socks off. I can tell Ryan is already annoyed by this assignment: “Does this mean I have to listen to ADS?” I hope not, Ryan.
