Getfugu, Inc. (http://www.getfugu.com/) (OTCBB: GFGU), the next
generation mobile search tool, has re-engaged Nuance
Communications, Inc., the Company that provides Getfugu's voice
recognition interface, to enlarge its ability to deliver instant
results to increasing numbers of global consumers who are
downloading its singular 'See it,' 'Say it' and 'Get It,' ARL
(Augmented Reality Links) and VRL (Voice Recognition Links), which
gives consumers a direct connection to the Web.
Rich Jenkins, co-founder and head of business development at
Getfugu, states, "We are launching the keyword sales for local
businesses and growing so quickly that we had to re-assess our
business and re-engage Nuance in order to meet this new surge. Our
standard ARL/VRL package includes the name of the business (voice
recognition) and logo of the business (logo recognition), so Joe's
Pizza gets 'Joe's Pizza' for VRL and uses his logo for ARL. In
addition, Joe's Pizza can elect to purchase the voice keyword
'pizza.' Keywords are sold by zip code, so Joe's Pizza can purchase
'pizza' in West Hollywood for $99/mo. When a consumer says 'Pizza'
into their phone, and is in West Hollywood, Joe's Pizza shows up on
a map that directs consumers directly to Joe's Pizza. There are 10
places for each keyword in each zip code. For the consumer, it's a
great way to find services right around them. For the small
business, Keyword sales are a great way to drive revenue, because
consumers that wouldn't be aware of Joe's can capture new business.
On the Getfugu side, this is an opportunity to drive more revenue
from existing customers."
"Nuance is the best in class for voice recognition incorporating
our type of application and provides Getfugu with the ultimate
speech recognition engine," Jenkins continued. "Through our newly
appointed sales channels, including 2,000 sales agents at
Salesconx, our newly appointed partnerships, such as with Texas
Instruments, and our 100,000 download milestone, we are preparing
for an exciting and dynamic future."
Getfugu is providing a Sneak Preview of its new application with
a Logo Drive Campaign at the CTIA 2010 Wireless Trade Show, in Las
Vegas, at booth, #6946, in the North Hall of the Convention
Center.
