Answers Anywhere harnesses the power of computer applications by enabling end-users – whether they are on a wireless phone, using a handheld PDA, interacting with a customized console or at a desktop computer – to get accurate, relevant information fast, no matter how complex their requirements are. Answers Anywhere is a robust, scalable middleware platform with powerful context understanding and natural language capabilities. It lets users bypass multi-layered menus and complex pull-down interfaces to access what they need quickly and reliably. Applications built with Answers Anywhere can even anticipate users' needs within the context of an ongoing interactive session, or "dialogue".
The embedded Answers Anywhere functionality enables developers to improve the user experience on resource-constrained devices that otherwise would have limited user-interface capabilities. Interacting in a natural, free-form and context-sensitive way generates a higher degree of satisfaction, reduces training requirements and results in a higher task-completion rate for users. For example, an automotive telematics product would allow users to ask for information or control applications in their own words to easily access directions, weather, Yellow Pages content or control functionality such as air conditioning or entertainment systems.
