Tropo makes it excruciatingly easy to build voice and text applications in just about any programming language. In fact, every time I do a live coding demo at an event or hackathon, I pick a new language to build a sample app…I try my best not to pick favorites. But I’ve always had a dark skeleton in my closet that generates snickers and scorn anytime it’s revealed.
Ushahidi is a platform for crowdsourcing information. Members of the public submit reports that are geo-located and then put on a map. The platform is used in disaster relief, election monitoring and just about any other situation where people need to learn things from one another quickly and concisely. Out of the box, Ushahidi allows people to submit reports via the web, mobile applications, Twitter, Facebook with support for a few SMS APIs as well.
Have you ever wanted to set a timer on a conference call and pop-in at a certain time to either:
We are always excited to see developers using Tropo to extend GoogleVoice functionality and features by adding things like SIP and Call Forwarding and Call-In enhancements. Terry Swanson (@FunnyBoy243) is one of these cool developers who wrote 2 of these extensions and opensourced them for others to share and contribute: (more…)
Ham radio or amateur radio communications has been around since the early 1900s. Ham radio technology has kept pace with traditional communications and may even be the only technology that allows people to communicate in natural disasters. Ham radio operators can communicate over very far distances using HF (high frequencies) as well as through satellites via AMSAT and even using VoIP over the Internet using EchoLink, IRLP, or D-STAR!
Tropo makes it super simple to create a conference call application.
In just a few lines of code, you can have a functional conference call application that you can use with Skype, SIP or a PSTN number.
Tropo just recently partnered with PamFax to deliver faxing capabilities via an API. Jason Goecke wrapped their API with a very simple Ruby gem called pamfaxr available at GitHub and installable using a “gem install pamfaxr” from your command line. Using the PamFaxr Ruby gem, I will demonstrate how to send a simple fax as well as how to build a Tropo Voice to Fax transcription application using our Scripting API!
