Have friends across the pond? What about south of the boarder?

2008-09-24 – Mobivox Brings Voice-Activated VoIP to the Greater Phone Community

What sets Mobivox apart is its sophisticated speech processing technology. When you dial into a local Mobivox access number, VoxGirl answers your call with a friendly "Hi, which person would you like to call?" If you want to call your friend Marie, you just reply "Marie," and VoxGirl (Mobivox's interactive voice response (IVR) technology) completes the call. Others have offered voice-based dialing, but Mobivox's system doesn't have to be trained. It get things right from the get-go.

2008-09-24 – Analysts Tout Voice Activiated Mobile Platform

"In launching this platform, Mobivox presents a way for carriers to leverage their existing resources," said Jon Arnold, independent VoIP analyst and principal, Jon Arnold & Associates, "without adding any capital expense or—equally important—appreciable user effort. There is no need, for example, for subscribers to 'train' recognizers to their individual voices, as we've seen with other voice-dial roll-outs. Subscribers merely register the names and numbers of their contacts—if the information isn't already uploaded—and speak their names to call them. Compared with all the numbers you'd need to make international calls, in particular, this is a great convenience—as well as a cost saving..."

2008-09-16 – TMC, Jon Arnold: Making Voice a Killer App

We don’t talk about killer apps too much these days, but if you ask me, it should be pretty top of mind for service providers. Voice is a double-edged sword for service providers – most of their businesses are built around it, but with the advent of VoIP, it’s become a commodity, and in many cases, a race to zero. So, what’s a carrier to do? Sure, everyone is shifting to data – Web browsing, video calling, etc., but more than anything, people like to talk. With voice getting cheaper by the day, it becomes harder to see how it can be profitable again...
