One of the great things about Tropo is that it has a speech recognition and text to speech engine built right in. This allows a user to speak commands to your voice application and respond to them with dynamically generated content. We make every effort to make these features robust and yet simple to use for developers.
After our announcement for support of SMS and Instant Messaging at SpeechTek this week, I would like to build upon Mike Thompson’s post for building Messaging into your Tropo applications. To get started all you need is the same Tropo account you are already using.
We have been busy adding additional features to Tropo with more to come. Today we are making available the ability to transcribe recorded audio and have the results posted to you via email or an HTTP POST. In addition to this, we have also created an option that allows you to send the recorded audio file out of the Tropo cloud directly to your servers via FTP or an HTTP POST. Now you may have easy access to recordings and what is being said!

We know it is important to provide developers as much information as possible in order to allow them to maximize their use of Tropo. To this end we have updated the Tropo FAQ, revealing more about the Java underpinnings of Tropo. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to come by and chat with us on the IRC (#tropo), Public Skype Chat or the Tropo Forums.
