Innovectra, an online advertising technology pioneer and the first company to publish an integrated electronic Yellow-and-White pages directory, today announced a new speech technology partnership with Audiopoint to enhance Innovectra's ActivImpact offering.

"Audiopoint's R&D continues to push innovative speech technology making our partnership a perfect fit. Their speech platform seamlessly complements and enhances our digital advertising platform and offers consumers another easy way to find the local products and services they need," said Thomas C.

With Activ411, Innovectra will provide simple voice based access to all of its web-based publisher's IYP directory data and services through the use of the standard telephone and mobile cell phone. All the user needs to do is speak.
ActivImpact, announced in January 2008, was designed to impact and improve the performance of IYP's online search properties. In addition to the newly announced Activ411 technology, the other features of ActivImpact include SEO, SEM, Mobile, Widgets, LeadSites, Video ads and Dynamic Couponing.
