I was pretty impressed when my MagicJack sent me my phone message to my email, just audio though, no transcription.

- nitrogen 16y agoThough the technology is impressive, I'm disappointed it's taken so long for it to reach the mainstream. Asterisk has been able to do this kind of thing forever, and I had a fax modem in the mid 90s that had voice capabilities and a programmable voicemail app included.
- akalsey 16y agoI wouldn't say it's taken this time to hit the mainstream. It's just experiencing a second wave of popularity. VoiceXML and it's predecessors were all the rage in the late 90s among the web developer crowd. Most of the automate phone systems you call at larger companies are VoiceXML backed. One thing that has changed in recent past is that the cost has come down significantly, making voice apps accessible to smaller developers and hobbyists. For those that want to use Asterisk and still take advantage of a web-centric programming model. Take a look at Adhearsion. It's an open source Ruby framework for writing Asterisk apps. Voxeo is a current sponsor of the project. http://adhearsion.com/ http://adhearsion.com/ We do plan on implementing the Adhearsion API on Tropo, allowing someone to build a portable app that runs either on their own Asterisk server or on the Tropo cloud.
