Its a talking virtual online support system. Like you FAQ section instead of all print is read to you by an agent. This virtual agent speaks to you instead of you reading the answers, Also asks if you would like to be contacted in voice etc

The theory is that it converts much higher leads into contactable leads. It looks good i must admit and they got pretty high end testimonials like McAfee etc. Take a look at sitepal dot com

Actually the more i think about it, the more it might be a good idea.... i might set it up on and arb web and then ask a few of you to crit it and see the opinion (is that Ok Dave???)

It really has my curiosity as its new.... new clever things often work a while.

I am still not sure what this is or how it works. Is it like a computerised American, reading stuff to me instead of me having to read?

it converts much higher leads into contactable leads

I do not understand this - How would it do this?

Actually there are a few programs that can read text on both the internet or just PDF files if the formant is correct. â€œIt canâ€™t read picturesâ€ Anyway I have question about bandwidth. If this is not a program you install and the sound is loaded up to your computer from the website it can eat a 3G cap and also slow down your overall net performance. So there are a few things that need to be considered.
