CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Dec. 3 /PRNewswire/ - Vlingo(TM) Corporation today announced availability of its

need for typing and gives users the ability to dial their contacts, search the Web, access Google
Maps, and send status updates for Facebook and Twitter with the power of voice.

"The iPhone offers an innovative multi-touch user interface that is fundamentally transforming the
wireless industry," said Dave Grannan, CEO of vlingo. "We're proud to debut our breakthrough voice
recognition technology on iPhone, taking simplicity one step further by reducing much of the
reliance on typing, making mobile data and applications easier to find and use."
Vlingo for iPhone works across multiple applications on the iPhone. It gives users access to the
most commonly used features by using voice, including:
-- PHONE. Initiate calls to anyone in your address book.
-- SEARCH. Look up anything through Yahoo! or Google in one step. Just say, "Web search: concert
tickets in Boston," and the results are displayed.
-- MAPS. Look up and map local listings. For example, by saying, "Find Italian restaurants in San
Francisco," vlingo will show choices and can populate Google Maps with the touch of a button.
-- SOCIAL. Users can send Facebook and Twitter status updates without typing. Vlingo also
automatically embeds a Web browser so users can easily access the mobile versions of Facebook and
Twitter to keep track of their friends' updates.
Vlingo gives iPhone users easy access to mobile information with the power of voice. Users do not
need to change how they speak or memorize a list of commands so they can say what they want, how
they want, and vlingo captures the results - word for word. Vlingo's breakthrough speech
recognition technology provides users with a simple way to access almost anything on their
handsets. With the most accurate system on the market that gets even better as more users join the
community, vlingo gives users the ability to freely mix typing and talking with no limits on what
they can say to command the device.
Vlingo for iPhone is available free from Apple's App Store on iPhone or at
