Why Lexy?
Lexy makes your mobile experience richer and more satisfying because our network delivers things you love to hear and lets you broadcast things you want to say.
If you have a phone and already know how to make a phone call (duh!), you're going to really like Lexy: The freshest personalized news and entertainment in text and audio delivered to your mobile phone. Works on all phones and networks. No applications to download. No syncing to remember. No proctological exams required.
With a personal playlist that is updated waiting for you each time you call 415-692-4933, audio on-demand on your mobile couldn't be easier. Best yet, Lexy content and phone-to-phone sharing is 100% free. (We do not, however, own your mobile phone company so applicable airtime and texting charges will apply.)
Quikcasts: Snack-sized audio for bite-sized moments
At Lexy, we focus on delivering audio programs that fit your mobile lifestyle. We cull from the vast audio web the best short-form news and entertainment pod- and webcasts — or what we call, Quikcasts™. Generally between 1 – 6 minutes long, Quikcasts fit perfectly into your mobile moments. And if you have a bunch of "moments" to string together, like a commute to or from work, a Lexy playlist is just the answer.
Sweetness of a personal Lexy playlist
Combine any number of Quikcasts into a playlist that matches your interests and pleasure. News, humor, learning, lifestyle, entertainment, business, technology, special interests … whatever. Lexy combs the audio web for the latest updates, tees them up and alerts you (via text or email, your choice) when they are available. A simple phone call — or log-in at lexy.com — and you and playlist are one (OK, maybe a bit too much California in that last line but you get our drift).
Most people create a Quikcast cocktail of varied interests and frequency of updates: Hourly news update from the AP, followed by a RoofTop Comedy feed, and then sports from ESPN, NPR's Story of the Day, and a dose of the Daily Dish from A Million Cooks. Or something like that...
Your wish is our command
Navigating your playlist and Quikcasts is a breeze, using either your voice and/or keys on your phone's keypad: Voice in the car or keypad in a quiet place where voice commands may be awkward. Skip this one, rewind that one, add this to my playlist, pause for a moment … or share phone-to-phone with a friend and a whole lot more. As a Lexy family member likes to say, Lexy is "Easy peasy lemon squeezy."
Share Quikcast Episodes with Friends
Hear something funny, provocative, insightful, bizarre, or useful on Lexy? Just say "Share this" and you can send a particular Quikcast episode to a friend or colleague from your phone to their's. No registration, application download or other hoops to jump through before they hear what you sent either. You enter their phone number, record a brief message, and then they receive a text message, click on the call-in number to call Lexy, and your euphonic gift resounds in their ear.
Of course, you also can share favorite Quikcast episodes from lexy.com too, either from your playlist or the category listings!
