VoodooVox recently released MyVox, a free service that enables developers to easily incorporate voice into their mobile applications and web widgets. Through the MyVox API, any phone can now function as a mic, giving mobile developers the ability to “enhance any Web application imaginable with the user’s voice.” Additionally, VoodooVox also provides a new revenue stream through its VoodooVox In-Call Network (ICNx), patent-pending audio advertising network. The VoodooVox ICNx inserts targeted ad-supported media directly into the call stream, sharing revenue with its call publishers.
Publishers on VoodooVox’s In-Call Network (ICNx) currently generate over 250 million calls monthly and include VoIP providers, radio stations, call centers, 411 services, calling card companies and a number of “Voice 2.0” companies.
Finally, to spark development of voice-enabled apps, VoodooVox is promoting the MyVox Developer Challenge, which promises up to $75,000 in prize money for innovative and popular applications.
