SageLINQ Vocal Streaming Service brings the Web to your ears

IRVINE, Calif. - June 11, 2015 - PRLog -- Available today, SageLINQ 2.1 converts live internet content into audible speech and streams to listeners, enabling ‘Eyes Forward’ access to a wide variety of information sources.  The 2.1 release also supports BlueTooth devices, and uses improved speech conversion algorithms to deliver content in a smooth and natural manner.  It’s on-the-fly delivery and adaptive learning features allow SageLINQ to deliver a truly personalized experience with minimal listener intervention.  Whether driving, jogging, riding, or just relaxing, SageLINQ delivers, enabling listeners to stay up to date, in a safe and worry free manner.

The 2.1 app also sports a more streamlined interface to make it easier to control when on the go.   SageLINQ's web services have also been enhanced, substantially reducing inter-story lag times.  The service, first commercial application using the company’s Automated Vocalization of The Internet (AVTI) project, enables autonomous gathering of data from a wide range of internet sources, intelligently transforming data into high quality speech, and stream it live to the listener’s devices; an experience very similar to conventional talk radio.  The overall experience is akin to having a personalized talk radio station backed by the wide variety of content of the internet.  A key goal of the project is to unlock the true power of mobile computing, including the proliferation of wearable devices that can benefit from the reduced need for bulky, distracting and power hungry display systems.  SageLINQ provides enhanced access to internet content for the visually impaired, those who find it difficult to read content from small portable devices, and any situation where it is not convenient, healthy, or safe to stare at a device for extended periods of time.

Public and private content from a variety of sources is transformed by SageLINQ’s CATTS™ context aware text-to-speech process and organized into listener tunable categories, enabling listeners to stay up to date on events that interest them.   SageLINQ’s user interface makes navigation a breeze.  Whether directly from mobile devices or remotely through BlueTooth controls, listeners can select specific categories, flip through content in preview mode, dig deep into content of interest, skip backward, jump ahead, pause, and replay content.  SageLINQ also streams and displays photos related to the content when available, for added interest when it safe to view.

A large selection of multi-source public news content already includes categories such as Top Stories, Technology, Business, Science, Sports, Environment, Health, and more.   Users can dial in just how much or how little content is desired in each of the categories.  Further personalization is available through SageLINQ’s thumbs up/down listener feedback input feature.  SageLINQ analyzes the content of each story and either delivers more or less of that type of content based on listener feedback.

SageLINQ’s On-Demand feature allows immediate access to specific personalized content types, such as local weather, local traffic maps and events, a check on financial markets, and how specific stocks are faring, all delivered in audio format.  These features enable On-Demand access to very specific content in a powerful query-able fashion.  Additional On-Demand content is planned for future releases.

SageLINQ 2.1 is available now from the App Store and is free to download, currently English only.  Additional sources are continuously being added for a richer listening experience, including planned enhanced support for social media.  Development support and guidelines are available to companies, schools and organization who want their voice to be heard.  SageLINQ can support streaming from virtually any internet source, newsletters, instructional information, schedules, advertisements, to the public or just to select listeners, SageLINQ makes it happen safely, ‘Eyes Forward’.  Contact SageLINQ for further information, www.sagelinq.com.
