In conjunction with my last post on Tellme I want to write another
suggestion for an application I had. I don’t know if you guys have come across Google Gas http://www.ahding.com/cheapgas But basically it is an application that this guy has developed
using the Google API to search an online database on gas prices in your area. One of my strong beliefs about how Asterisk is going to leave
the “Commercial” IP-PBX vendors behind is by leveraging the open
source community to write voice driven applications for Asterisk. The weather
app written for [EMAIL PROTECTED] is great example. (http://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=3004652
the WAF on this was worth setting up asterisk alone, she checks this every
morning for NY weather). I was also hoping that the www.tellme.com
and www.studio.tellme.com tools
would also stimulate this area. People should also check out www.angel.com for other ideas on best of breed
speech applications. The suggestion I would like to make is that someone use the Google
api to write code for a directions application. You could use Tellme to deliver the current address and the
destination address into the Google API and then use text to speech to read
back the directions. With enough finessing this could compete with any of the
current commercial direction solutions that are out there and because it’s
asterisk your cost base could be extremely minimal. Hell you might even get paid for it http://code.google.com/summerofcode.html Just a suggestion, any thoughts? Are there any other speech
driven apps being used today? Cheers, Dean |
