Electronic Virtual Assistant (EVA), a provider of voice-based services, has announced a new proactive feature to the company's E-Max service, a hi-tech product that delivers important "can't-be-missed" email messages direct to the recipient's cell phone, even when not in front of their computer. The new proactive feature allows users to send an email, anywhere, in any language, by calling E.V.A.'s 800-number and ask to send an email--all without a computer, PDA, or keyboard.

E-Max subscribers simply pick-up the phone, dial the 800 number and say, "email existing account (name)" and speak the message. The recipient will receive the email within a matter of seconds as a wave file. This recent technology addition allows E-Max users to send and receive email messages by their own voice, not a computerized voice, to add a level of personalization.

Not just a convenience tool, E-Max is the safest way to multitask while on the road. Several accidents, even fatal ones, have been blamed on drivers trying to type in numbers, text messages, or type lengthy email messages while driving. Typing while driving has been equated with the same dangers as drunk driving. To avoid these dangers, E.V.A.'s 800 number can be saved in a user's phone so it is easily accessed without ever having to type it in. E-Max contacts are loaded into the system prior as a VIP account, once an E-Max account is set up, emails can be sent via voice commands to eliminate any typing while driving.

E-Max is the perfect email system for busy professionals, people on the go, and ideal for those busy road warriors. Older people and visually impaired users also benefit from this voice-based service. The service costs $19.95 a month, and users get a 30-day free trial.
