Eight man-years of R&D are about to come to fruition with
the imminent release of a patent pending technology that acts as a bridge
between a mobile phone, a PC and a number of instant messenger VoIP services.
The start-up is kicking off on September 11 with a free Beta
download of its Skype integrated client software which will allow mobile phone
users to make Skype calls via their PC.
But the technology platform is designed to allow VoxLib to
offer the same service in a variety of VoIM (Voice over Instant Messaging)
platforms such as Yahoo!, Google, AOL and MSN's offerings.
Actually, the platform goes a step further and integrates
PSTN, SIP, IAX in just the same way making it potentially a mobile lest cost
calling platform of the future.
The technology brings together computer telephony
integration, speech recognition and advanced internet communications in a way
that the developers hop will allow them to churn out new applications in days
not months of years, once they get the first one out the door.
VoxLob is funded by Canadian venture capital funds and is
based in Montréal, Quebec.
The system works by first making a call to your PC or workstation
using your mobile phone, voice activation and recognition software then lets
you instruct your computer to place a call using Skype (for example) to anybody
in your contact list.
If that person is offline you can instruct the system to
monitor their presence and call you back once they are available.
At the core of the system is a universal bridge which can dynamically
connect and control any existing and future communication protocols/applications
including SIP, PSTN, IAX, Skype and many others.
