I have tried that service. It's got potential, but I found it to be
unreliable as it crashed.
There is another competing service which my organization operates called Sun
Dial which does many of the same things. It too has had some reliability
problems. However, we will be introducing a brand new version called Sun
Dial II soon which will be much more robust, allow both telephone keypad and
voice navigation, support for media streaming and a number of other
innovations I cannot reveal as of yet. It will use AT&T speech which is
much better than either system employs now.
Stay tuned!
Bill
