JawBite Now Integrates with In-Car Communication Systems

100% Voice Solution Allows Car Manufacturers to Meet Consumers' Demands for Access to Social Media and Other Online Information

SPRINGFIELD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--JawBite, a service that allows consumers to update their online social content with just a phone call, is able to seamlessly integrate with any in-car communications platform. The JawBite service has been fully tested and integrated with a variety of in-car technologies. The parent company of JawBite, Thing5 LLC, is a leading provider of hosted telecommunications solutions with a history of successfully bringing to market next generation voice technologies.

“No one wants to memorize different menus depending on the device that they are using – whether it is a mobile phone or their car’s communication system. With JawBite, we make it simple and fast to be connected and stay up-to-date.”

With its basic offering, JawBite supports hands free access to Twitter and Facebook with full text transcriptions at a 99% accuracy rate. An API interface is also available, allowing JawBite to further enhance the in-car experience by blending its hands-free technology with emerging, in-car heads-up display technologies with support for email, contact and calendar and other two-way actions.

“We are able to deploy JawBite with the growing number of in-car communications systems like GM OnStar and Ford SYNC. We designed JawBite as a completely open, device and carrier agnostic solution for today’s connected, highly mobile individual and the growing number of services that they use,” commented managing director David Thor. “No one wants to memorize different menus depending on the device that they are using – whether it is a mobile phone or their car’s communication system. With JawBite, we make it simple and fast to be connected and stay up-to-date.”

For example, posting to Facebook or Twitter has never been easier. JawBite users simply speak their post or say their friend’s name when prompted. After an audio transcription and voice confirmation, the message is posted to the user’s profile or friend’s Facebook Wall.

JawBite is Thing5’s newest product in its line of hosted voice solutions. The company plans to launch another consumer driven application during the first quarter of 2011.
