Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9750002A1] The method includes the steps of receiving (201), from a user, a first wireless voice transmission including a verbal description of a location. Using speech recognition, the first wireless voice transmission is converted (203) into a data representation of the location. The location may include a street address or a landmark name. Various types of services, particularly location-based services using the user's location, may be provided, including street address (407), directions from a starting location to a desired location (509), and emergency assistance (609).
