VOICE2insight Helps Consumers Track Spending Using Cell Phones


VOICE2insight announced a new verbal Expense Tracker that allows people to call in and track their expenses from a predetermined budget anywhere, anytime.
 
Working as one of the most easiest and intuitive ways for people to track and monitor their spending, the new system provides a budget, based on income and family structure, which can be easily modified and personalized with just a click. The company points out that by using the advanced speech recognition system, customers can call-in their expenses while still out spending before they forget. The unique system updates the budget in real time as well as enables users to log their expenses when in front of a computer similar to other expense tracking systems.

The company sends a daily update to users via e-mail through The Expense Tracker and also offers users the option to call an 800 number for a real time voice summary, which helps them decide whether or not they can afford a night out on the town.
 
According to VOICE2insight’s president, Matthew Tippetts, The Expense Tracker is the only system on the market so simple and easy that people will really use to get their spending in order.
 
Tippetts informs that VOICE2insight literally get dozens of email messages each day from users that say ‘thank you for saving my marriage,’ or ‘I hate this system, on the one hand, because I realize I don’t have the money to go out on the weekend, but, on the other hand, I love the system because I am saving $200 a month I didn’t know I had.’ VOICE2insight’s Expense Tracker is useful for everyday people in today’s difficult financial environment that are searching for ways to pay their mortgage and health insurance without going broke. 
 
Tippetts is reportedly offering Expense Tracker at a price of under $10 a month. By only paying a one-time only $9.99 set-up fee, users can get The Expense Tracker for six months by paying $59.95, said the company. The company is also offering a 7-day free trial where users can try the system and not be billed until they decide to sign-up on the eighth day.
 
Through just a simple cell phone call, the enrolled consumers can capture every expense item at the exact point of purchase, thus helping them track expenditures and “find” money they didn’t know they had. By combining the latest speech recognition and Web-based technology into a tool Expense Tracker helps people see exactly where their money is going and understand immediately what they have left to spend and, therefore, makes wise spending decisions, explained the company’s officials.
