Congrats to SpinVox for this important move. Opening your system to others can drive speech applications faster leveraging many more developers and creative minds. Whether it is human transcription or machine transcription, this move separates the speech processing part from the application part and push for SaaS speech enabled applications.

SpinVox to Demonstrate Open API Applications at CTIA Wireless 2009




Pre-Registrations For SpinVox Create Fuel Co-Development Program and Confirm Demand for Voice Conversion Services from Web-Based Technology Developers Wanting to Build Speech 2.0 Applications

CTIA Wireless 2009

LONDON & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SpinVox, the global leader in voice to content messaging, will showcase three brand new Speech 2.0 applications at CTIA Wireless 2009, to be held April 1-3 in Las Vegas. The applications have been developed in less than a month to demonstrate the power of SpinVox Create, an open API (Application Programming Interface) to the SpinVox Voice Message Conversion System™ (VMCS), the world’s largest commercial speech platform.

SpinVox Create was announced at Mobile World Congress, Barcelona in February 2009 and developers were invited to pre-register their interest in SpinVox Create in advance of its launch via a web registration page - www.spinvox.com/developer

SpinVox Create will be launched as a key part of a two-stage corporate API strategy that will also be announced at CTIA and rolled out by SpinVox in the first half of 2009.

Nearly 100 developers have already registered interest in SpinVox Create and, of these, 20 have been selected by SpinVox to be part of the co-development program. Those selected include business efficiency, personal productivity, games and social networking applications.

SpinVox Create is a simple, straightforward API that leverages SpinVox’s commercial speech platform – which is growing quickly with more than 30 million users - to enable any developer with Web access to quickly build commercial speech applications. It also enables SpinVox to collaborate with third parties to expand the Speech 2.0 market and foster further innovations in voice that complement SpinVox’s existing platform development services for Enterprise application partners and Carrier networks.

“We’ve been impressed by both the quality and quantity of responses to our pre-registration announcement,” says SpinVox co-founder and CEO Christina Domecq. “We are clearly seeing an increased demand for voice conversion services from technology developers who recognize that a speech interface enables the most natural form of communication, and who want to build Speech 2.0 applications with best-in-class open products.”

Demonstration of Voice innovation on Apple, Nokia, and Windows Mobile platforms

Three applications will be demonstrated at CTIA Wireless 2009. These are based on Apple iPhone, Nokia Series 60, and Microsoft Windows Mobile platforms.

`Travel Blog`, a Windows Mobile 6.0 Application developed by Singapore-based Global Idealogy Corporation lets you tag and post your photographs using just your voice . You can select photographs through the application, speak a message, attach the converted text to the photographs, post it on blog, social networking websites or send it as email or MMS.

`Speak-a-Text`, a Nokia Series 60 Application developed by UK-based Symbian Platinum Partner, Savage Minds, incorporates the ability to speak a text which is converted to text and placed into the menu structure of the phone software.

`Memo`, an iPhone Application, developed by UK-based SpinVox allows iPhone users to speak a memo through the iPhone application and after conversion into text by the SpinVox VMCS the memo resides on the iPhone for instant access whenever needed.

Drive the next upturn

SpinVox has already received pre-registrations for SpinVox Create across the globe and looking ahead expects rapid uptake of the API particularly in Silicon Valley where SpinVox Web 2.0 services such as SpinVox Blog and SpinVox Social Networks have been increasingly popular.

Adds Domecq, “SpinVox has created a new category - carrier-grade voice conversion - and now is helping talented developers take advantage of the next growth opportunity in speech. The potential for innovation between carriers and the web is enormous – along with our own innovations we're now delivering a platform for creation of market changing applications and supporting their transformation to carrier-grade services. Speech 2.0 applications will be one of a cluster of innovations that will drive the next upturn as people are increasingly enabled to re-discover the power of their voice.”

So if all spinvox is is a method to get audio over to a transcriber in an overseas call center and return some text, isn't it just a matter of time before the call centers create their own APIs and bypass spinvox?

SpinVox is much more than a getting audio to human transcribers, have a look at http://www.spinvox.com/how_it_works.html. You can even use that page to teach the system new words.

are you talking about famous Jott.com?

the spinvox D2 brain. Sorry but it's a load of crap. My guess is at least 80 - 90% of voicemails are done by human transcribers. If most conversions were done by software, they wouldn't be charging $9.95 for 40 messages.
see: http://www.ureach.com/spinvox/
the software just helps the transcriber by picking out some of the words it was able to clearly recognize.

Anonymous said...

Agree with the second anonymous - the voice-text conversion works 100% through call centre workers, barely helped by the software. It's dishonest they advertise it as something automated.

They give children in Haiti a positive outlook through education.

And yes, they're legitimate.

It would be great if you could help

Today, I went to the beachfront with my children.
I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She put the shell to her ear and screamed.
There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!
