    Voice to Text Future - In Your Hand

    04.01.08 | Stuart | Permalink | 2 Comments

    I’ve been trying out a new messaging service of a type I’ve been skeptical of in the past. I’m talking Voice to Text. Now I’m going to remain skeptical for different reasons.
    Andy pointed me to Mobivox’s new “Dictate Message” service or is that a command? Anyways you call Mobivox and when asked who you want [...]

    What’s Mobivox Really Listening For?

    03.12.08 | Stuart | Permalink | Comment?

    Nitzan Shaer from Mobivox a company I’ve written about before does “calling by name”. So it’s nice to learn something new and glimpse into the model of how they tune their IVR - voice recognition. Turns out they listen to more than just me saying your name.
    He starts with a story that brings [...]

    eComm Impact on The Future of Social Networks

    Today I bookmarked a presentation by Charlene Li on “The Future of Social Networks“. I’d really like to spend more time commenting on it. However, I’m going to use it as a setup some eComm thoughts which starts tomorrow. I’ll be there and looking to put a new “lens” on advancements and where to find [...]

    What’s Your iPhone Strategy? Speculation or Prediction

    03.07.08 | Stuart | Permalink | 1 Comment

    A few years ago the strategy question for anyone in and around communications was “What’s your Skype strategy?”. Last year just after the Facebook API was launched it was common practice to ask: “What’s your Facebook strategy?“. Today, you need answers to “What’s your iPhone strategy?”.

    I’ve got a few friends which I’ve passionately talked [...]

    Voice Enabling the iPhone - iAssistant?

    Wouldn’t it be nice to never dial a number again. What if you could just push one button and call all your friends by name? That in a nutshell is what Mobivox does. She’s a call assistant. “Hi Stuart. Who would you like to call?” My video examples below show how you can voice-enable [...]

    Hacking iPhones and eComm

    In preparation for both eComm and the launch of the iPhone SDK on March 6th I spent some time on Sunday hacking my iPhone. I’d had it just one week. I’d killed my T-Mobile account to move to AT&T, so my initial activation was all official. Then I kept reading about more.. all the neat [...]

    Mobivox - “Connecting You and Me by Name”

    02.19.08 | Stuart | Permalink | 3 Comments

    A few years ago I went to CES2005 in search of new VoIP products. At the time I came across VoxLib a product that could make and receive Skype calls on a normal home phone. When you picked up the phone you got VoxGirl who asked… who would you like to call. There were many [...]

    Bluetooth Car Stereos and My Mobile

    A few weeks ago my car was broken into and the car stereo stolen. Pain, insurance etc. It annoyed me at the time and seemed so useless. The theives got away, although left part of the stereo behind in the dash. The radio not even worth the price of the smashed glass. In the [...]
