We want to congratulate our partner Broadsoft, who had some big news this week. The leading provider of VoIP application software, announced the availability of its Xtended Services Interface (Xsi), new RESTful application programming interfaces (APIs) that will allow Web developers to integrate BroadSoft’s carrier-grade voice applications with unified communications solutions and Web-based business and consumer applications, such as Salesforce.com and Facebook.

New voice mashups are available to BroadSoft’s nearly 300 service providers through the BroadSoft Xtended Marketplace (http://marketplace.broadsoft.com). The Xtended Marketplace features applications for download and purchase, including mashups for voicemail-to-text service GotVoice, Web conferencing service WebEx, customer management solution ACT! by Sage and BlackBerry smartphones. Placing these applications on BroadSoft’s Xtended Marketplace provides immediate revenue opportunities for developers.

Over the past month, BBGeeks has researched the visual voicemail services, including GotVoice, SpinVox, YouMail, and SimulSays.

A few choice quotes:

This was a landslide. No company, not even SpinVox, came close to GotVoice in transcription accuracy.

Best in Show: GotVoice

It would be a bit unfair to pick four categories and then put each of the four services into one each. While it can give you an idea of what each service does best, it doesn’t let you know which is the best overall. This comes down to a matter of opinion, but I have GotVoice by a hair.

The real reason is that I didn’t even need a BlackBerry interface with them. Their transcriptions were so accurate that I could just read my voicemails and respond accordingly. There was no need to play them back. And if I needed to, I always got that email with the WAV attached, so I could play it on my BlackBerry Media Player.

Thanks for the review, and for noticing how important the visual voicemail space is becoming.

It’s always nice to roll into the office Monday morning and see a positive review. In a thorough post about his Voice-to-Text history, the SciTech Guy includes this paragraph.

I had pretty much lost hope, but Mr.M recently pointed me to GotVoice. This system does exactly what I want. It does have the ability to take over cell phone’s mailboxes and that’s cool and all. What I like is that it allows me to forward the emails I get from my company’s voicemail and have them transcribed to text and sent back to me. There’s about a 2-10 minute delay, but it does work. I’m giddy with the service and thankful to Mr.M. for the referral. Sure, it cost about 10 bucks a month, but I’ll happily pay that.

The SciTech Guy has a number of funny posts, so it’s definitely worth checking out. Thanks for the review, and keep up the good work.

Thanks to the guys over at Blackberry Geeks for the nice writeup and review on GotVoice.

Joe at BBGeeks says, “While oneSearch makes good with its promise that it will learn your voice over time, it seems that GotVoice has that capability right out of the box. They claim a 90 percent accuracy rate, and I can’t disagree with them. My trials of the service have yielded wonderful results. I even had friends call with funny and even ridiculous accents. Still, the GotVoice transcription service got most of the words right.”

Every once in a while, we like to give a little free publicity to some companies in our hood, especially when they are doing cool stuff in mobile.  So, when we saw this article from the Seattle PI’s John Cook,  about Dashwire, we decided to be neighborly and let the GotVoice Community know about them.

Here’s a quote from their CEO about what they do:  “We mirror your mobile phone to the Web and it allows users to be able to access, manage and share all of their phone content,” explains Chief Executive Ford Davidson. “It is one view of their mobile phone. Any picture that is captured automatically uploads, so it removes the hassle of users trying to figure out how to get their media content from the phone to the Web.”
