Airline Passengers Create and Deliver Business Documents While in Flight

Airline passengers now have a way to create and deliver business documents while they're in flight, even when they don't have access to a computer. A new in-flight service from GTE Airfone, Inc. and iDictate.com offers iDictate's dictation -- transcription service to passengers on board eight airlines (Continental Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Delta Express, Midwest Express, Trans World Airlines, United Airlines, Shuttle by United and U.S. Airways) equipped with advanced digital Airfone(R) Service from GTE Airfone. This service provides skilled typists to create documents or messages, eliminating the need to have your laptop computer with you. By turning the GTE Airfone into a dictiation device, users can now edit or send documents directly to a recipient easily and quickly. Users can dictate letters, business proposals, meeting summaries, legal pleadings or any other
document "on the fly."
