"We understand the importance of in-car connectivity and look forward to working together to deliver a unifying Voice Interface to enhance a safe and seamless experience specifically optimized for the road."
"Never before has there been a greater consumer demand for constant access to mobile device content and applications. In the car, that access must be fast and simple," said Chris Ruff, CEO and president of UIEvolution. "Our vision at UIEvolution is that technology and connectivity should enhance and never distract from life experiences. And working with VoiceBox, we're able to deliver upon this vision by providing ultimate voice-powered solutions that enable safer, driver-friendly access to highly demanded, useful mobile content."
