Associated Press
Yahoo Inc. is adding voice-recognition technology to its telephone-related services, allowing consumers to call friends over the Internet by speaking their names.
Yahoo Phone Card enables voice-activated dialing on Web-based telephone calls using a burgeoning technology known as Voice over Internet Protocol.
The voice technology also enables users to speak commands into a service called Yahoo by Phone that reads e-mail and news information aloud.
The services can be accessed on any telephone.
