Great idea but can I ask how you intend to do the location/destination
entry?
Did you see my other email a little while ago about potentially using
speech recognition for this process?
I’ve copied the original email below.
Cheers,

Subject: Asterisk Google API
applications - $4500 bounties available
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
