TringMe Launches VoicePHP for Voice Applications

Run by founder Yusuf Motiwala, TringMe provides a unified platform offering that claims to integrate all existing voice and telephony communication devices. Its latest attempt at providing Web-enabled voice application is the announcement of the VoicePHP programming language.

According to the TringMe Web site, VoicePHP is not an extension to PHP -- infact, it is still the same scripting language developers are already familiar with. The only difference is that the input and output is voice instead of text. 

In October 2008, the Indian startup had introduced Flash-based support based on the VoiceXML platform. VoiceXML is another standard XML format that allows voice applications to be developed to HTML for visual applications -- in this case for Flash-based applications.
