Microsoft Outlook - Now Voice Powered by E.V.A.; Populating Your Database Evolves from 'Typing It In' to 'Talking It In' Courtesy of Virtual Management Inc.

SALT LAKE CITY -- Virtual Management Inc. (www.evaforhire.com), a provider of voice-based services, today announced the addition of seamless synchronization to their flagship product, the Electronic Virtual Assistant (EVA). A major product enhancement, the synchronization tool allows users to keep their online EVA contacts in sync with local desktop or PDA-based address books. This revision was borne out of user feedback and makes contact management seamless and as easy as a phone call and a push of a button. No longer must Microsoft Outlook users populate their address books and calendar events through archaic typing but, instead, they can talk it in using their electronic virtual assistant. EVA is a hybrid technology that blends the latest advances in digital recordkeeping with the unrivaled intuition and know-how of a live transcriber; EVA aims to bring the power and efficiency of a personal assistant to people in all walks of life. With a starting price of just $69.95 per month, users can have a U.S.-based personal assistant available to them around the clock for only $2.33 a day! EVA can help with personalized data storage and retrieval, sending e-mails on their behalf, scheduling meetings and reminders, filling out sales reports and keeping real-time "to-do lists" - all completed while away from desk and computer.

"Data is only truly useful if its accuracy can be assured. Knowing that your valuable contacts and other information are always current and redundantly protected against loss provides tremendous peace-of-mind," explained Eric Tippetts, EVP of worldwide sales at VMI.

Seamless Synchronization

EVA now supports seamless synchronization with desktop versions of Outlook 2002, XP and 2003. Data transfer is as easy as clicking the dedicated EVA button from within the Outlook program. By doing so, all updated contacts, calendar items and/or tasks from the user's online EVA-maintained database are merged with their local Outlook database and calendar. Mobile devices (such as Blackberry, Treo or other smartphones) are supported through desktop synchronization with Outlook.

How It Works?

Designed to bring the highest level of efficiency to any job, EVA is a voice-based data entry system where users dictate important action items, calendared events or meeting summaries to a dedicated toll-free number or onto a tiny handheld unit called "EVA's Ear." Being able to complete these tasks, on-the-go, in a matter of seconds, saves valuable time and allows workers to quickly refocus on the task at hand - revenue generation. The system can also be used to update business contact information or log expense report and tax-related items so that nothing falls through the cracks. A typical five-minute call is equivalent to two hours of keyboarding and allows far greater detail and direction (1). Once dictation is complete, the data is processed and available typically within the hour. Users can log in from any Web browser and view their custom databases and activities and can also have this information sent to them electronically. This efficiency turns "Down Time or Dead Time" into productive time since follow-up can be done on the drive or flight home, saving hours spent back at the office "finishing" the tasks of the day.
