   Do you yahoo? If you don't, yahoo is making it easier for you to check your email. Especially when you're 1)on the go.


      To learn more about yahoo by phone, press zero.


     It's called Yahoo! by phone. The idea -- you don't have to have a computer to access the internet. Forget a mouse click. All you need is a touch tone. Several smaller companies like Tell-me and Bevocal have already launched similar systems that use voice portals. Yahoo's offers email.


     They can listen to stock quotes, they can listen to news, they can listen to sports scores and they can listen to weather.


      Lisa Pollack is the project's senior producer. She says this new technology which turns text into synthesized speech, is helping 1 to bridge the digital divide.


     Nearly everybody has a telephone, there are more people that have telephones than have PCs. And this is just one way for us to make it easier for people to access their information. Let's say you're expecting a message from a good friend of yours, that you're maybe going to meet her for dinner. And you think she might have tried to contact you through email, well you can 2)call in and listen to your email.


     And she says you don't have to be computer 3)savvy to use it. Here's how it works. Just dial 1800-myyahoo, punch in your code and listen.


     Hi and welcome to Yahoo!.


     So what it really does is releases people from the electronic 4)tether to their PC, so they now can access their information from wherever they are.


Thank you for using yahoo. Goodbye!


 


电话雅虎行


 


   你上雅虎网吗?如果没有,雅虎正在努力使你检查电子邮件更方便。尤其是当你忙个不停的时候。


   “电话了解雅虎更多信息,请拨零。”


   那就是所谓的”电话雅虎行”。这想法就是,不必用电脑上网,更不用鼠标。你只需要说话字正腔圆。几家像”Tell-me”和”Bevocal”等规模稍小的公司已经启动了使用语音入口的类似系统。雅虎则在提供电子邮件方面使用。


   “他们可以听股票报价,可以听新闻报道,还可以听体育比赛和天气预报。”


   莉萨·波洛克是该工程项目的高级设计师。她说这种把正文转成合成语音的新技术有助于解决数字信号划分问题。


   “几乎人人都有电话,拥有电话的人比有电脑的人多,这只是我们帮助人们更容易获取信息的一种途径。比方说你期望收到一个好朋友的信息,或许你打算和她见面吃饭,你认为她可能已经通过电子邮件来联系你,那么你可以打电话听你的电子邮件内容。”


   她还说,你不必精通电脑也可以用它。你只需拨通1800-myyahoo(我的雅虎),输入你的密码就可以听了。


   “您好,欢迎来到雅虎!”


   它的真正作用在于把人们从电脑旁解放出来,现在他们可以随时随地收到信息。


  “谢谢您使用雅虎系统,再见!”
