Voice to Email - Spinvox

I am recently enjoying a great application from Spinvox which allows me to send myself minutes of meetings or general reminders while I'm out and about.

What Spinvox allows you to do is dial a phone number and you are then prompted to leave a message. This voice message is converted into text and can be either emailed to you, update your blog, or can be sent as a text message and email to your friends.

After testing this I have found that as long as you speak at a normal sort of speed and speak clearly the service works very well.

The email service is free to use. You pay for the cost of dialling the access number but the one I was given is a standard UK national number so included in the free minutes on my mobile call package.

Stand at Subcon 08

As part of our 25th Anniversary celebrations we showcased a number of designs at this years Subcon 08 at the NEC. We felt it was a busy and exciting show and it drew attention to us from a number of major OEMS. Although it is early days for our range of GPRS telematics boards we were able to demostrate the principles by letting visitors send a text message to turn equipment on and off and then receive a reply with a list of all input and output states, the temperature and the co-ordinates of the stand.
