Tropo Jam Session

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

Want to learn more about the new Tropo Web API? Then sign up for our upcoming Tropo Jam Session.

Voxeo’s Jam Sessions are live sessions for developers, demonstrating the latest Voxeo technology. You can join our web conference session and watch and listen as Voxeo’s developers talk about how to get the most out of our products.

This month’s Jam Session is on Tropo and the new Web API. Join Tropo’s Jason Goecke and Jose de Castro February 24th at 11am Eastern to get an overview of how Tropo’s Web API works and what you can do with it.  In the session, Jose and Jason will show how to add multi-channel communications with robust speech recognition, text to speech, transcription, conferencing, IM, and SMS to your apps using the programming languages and tools you already know. They’ll even be providing examples of how to use this in your own applications.

There’s no cost to attend, but you will need to register in advance so we can send you the call-in details

Thomas Howe introduces the Mobile Mail List mashup for Tropo with screencasts, source code

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

Over on his blog, mashup king Thomas Howe introduces a new Mobile Mail List application for use with Tropo.com. As Thomas describes it:

It allows retail facing businesses to quickly and easily let their customers sign up for customer care programs using their cell phone, then uses text messaging to send coupons back to the customers. It’s free and open source, and it runs today on Tropo.

Thomas indicates he’ll be doing a series of screencasts, the first two of which are out already. He has also made the source code available over on Github and included an architecture diagram to show how the pieces all fit together.

The first screencast introduces the Mobile Mail List application:

The second screencast, embedded in his second blog post dives into the voice app used on Tropo.com:

If you would like to try out Thomas’ app yourself, you can download the Mobile Mail List software and then use it with your Tropo.com account (which is free if you haven’t created one yet) as well as your own web server.

It’s cool to see and we’re looking forward to seeing the other screencasts Thomas creates!
