Speak Your Mind! - Ping Your Social Networks using Voice to Text from SpinVox
Written by Glenn Letham
Monday, 06 October 2008
Ok, I'm excited about this one... now the cool gang at SpinVox has
added yet another excellent feature... simply dial a number, leave a
message, and your voice message will be saved and encoded as text to your favorite social networks (Blogger, Twitter, etc...) ... brilliant!
There's no doubt that after today, Twittering or whatever service
you prefer, using Ping.fm will be much more exciting. Now users can
easily leave a voice message on their social networking services thanks
to the Ping your messages service from SpinVox.
Here's how it works... first I just to http://ping.fm/spinvox/ and setup the appropriate preferences on my Ping.fm account.
Then, prepare to send your voice to Ping your messages! Simply dial
1 (202) 684-7653 for the USA or 1 (416) 628-4693 for Canada and speak
your message. Your voice will be converted to text and posted to your
social networks!
Leave your short message, then hang-up, wait about 2 minutes and
your social networks (Twitter in my case) are updated leaving the text
version of your voice message along with a link to the audio clip.
First I setup my preferences on Ping.fm -- then I
call the number and leave a message from my mobile. I have my Ping
preferences set to upload to Twitter and others. On Twitter my message
appears as a normal textual Tweet, along with a link to a Voice Clip - hear my message here!
I wait a bit then my social networks are updated! you can connect with me on Twitter via @gletham
Updates are also sent (optionally) to facebook!
My delicious bookmarks also updated - although sans description
From SpinVox Blog...
