Bing 411-Microsoft's 411 service
After the launch of their new search engine Bing, Microsoft has come up with the subsequent launch of Bing 411. This is a counter to another Google service Goog 411. Both Goog 411 and Bing 411 are free and both use speech-to-text technology and voice recognition to completely automate directory assistance calls. GOOG-411 (1-800-466-4411) has been going for a while, and is surprisingly intuitive.
Bing 411 (1-800-246-4411) is great to use and it gives you local business listings, as well as local traffic. The voice in Bing 411 service sounds a bit artificial and computer generated than in Goog 411. Bing 411 can also get you a phone number, address, or directions which is a plus point. What’s more, the second time you call, it remembers your last request and you can ask for “saved searches.”
If Bing doesn’t understand understand your search, it takes you to a decision tree, asking you what type of service you are looking for.
