14 DAY TRIAL // SpinVox and Lincoln, RI-based nFinity have released the first SpinVox-enabled application for iPhone and iPod touch. Immediately available from the iTunes App Store, the app uses the SpinVox API (Application Programming Interface) thanks to which nFinity has been able to rapidly develop a new feature for QuickVoice Pro.
In keeping with the official announcement, QuickVoice Pro is the latest version of the award-winning voice recorder that instantly became a Top 100 product in Apple's App Store when it was released in July 2008. The app lets you record voice notes, reminders, dictations, meetings, interviews, shopping lists, to-do lists, and even entire lectures and multi-session seminars, according to its maker.
On a more particular note, SpinVox and nFinity reveal that the SpinVox API leverages SpinVox VMCS, the world’s largest commercial speech platform – a Cloud service that already has over 30 million users and is growing fast –, to enable Speech 2.0 applications to be quickly built and launched. Thanks to the new enhancement – the SpinVox API –, QuickVoice Pro users will be able to employ their iPhones to record voice messages, which are then automatically converted into text to be sent by e-mail. This is a first for the iPhone.
“SpinVox API is the first open platform for the co-creation of a new category of services,” SpinVox Co-founder and CEO Christina Domecq is quoted as saying. “It confirms SpinVox as the de facto standard for a new generation of speech products, delivering a reliable mass-market experience and developing new revenue streams for both SpinVox and its partners,” she adds.
