Users Phone in With MyVox API
Get your user’s voice into your app, even if they don’t have a microphone on their computer. MyVox uses a phone number and unique pin code to let users record messages with any ordinary phone.
The hello world example gives an idea of what the process is like. After the user finishes the phone call, the audio is immediately available via a WAV or MP3 file.
Sites using the API include rapper Ludacris’ online music community WeMix. To get an idea of how developers are using MyVox, check out the application gallery.
It’s pretty cool that MyVox is providing a bridge between a phone and the Internet. I do have questions about how useful the service will continue to be in the future. Audio input is being built into many new laptops. Add in increasingly powerful mobile phones and I wonder if MyVox would have been more useful five years ago.
The service is supported with a very short advertisement at the beginning of the call. MyVox is a project of well-funded Voodoovox, who aims to be the Doubleclick of audio advertising.
