Voice portals enable consumers and enterprise users to access Internet-based data by phone.
A number of voice portals, including Tellme and BeVocal recently have launched. The growth largely will come because tiny displays on mobile phones and other devices make it difficult to view data, according to the study. However, the study is skeptical of voice portals that rely on advertising. Many consumers are attracted to the voice portal concept but may be turned off by advertising. In-Stat surveyed 1,000 consumers and nearly half said would be very likely to use voice portals.
