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.

TringMe Creates Flash VoiceXML Platform

TringMe has announced a Flash-enabled VoiceXML platform. TringMe said, "A lot of infrastructure is required to build voice application, because of the complexity involved in building interactive voice applications and the need for optimum performance and carrier grade reliability. Even with the innovation on both voice and RIA (Rich Internet Applications) fronts, something is required to bridge the gap and make voice accessible from RIA in a simple manner effectively." 

They added, "With TringMe, we have tried to bridge this gap. With extension of our platform, TringMe opens up VoiceXML accessibility to millions of flash and web developers to easily, yet, tightly integrate voice and telephony without having to know the intricate details of call-signalling, routing, billing etc."

Developers only require Flash and Web technologies to create rich voice and telephony applications. Applications that can be developed using TringMe's Flash VoiceXML platform include speech recognition, DTMF or text-to-speech. [click heading for more]
