I’m a bit surprised and impressed on the capabilities of Tropo, and this small post will show you why.
Here is a quick and short tutorial on how to create a Voicemail application at the Tropo site
The Code [PYTHON]
Here is the sample code in Python, I believe this one is more readable for me… JavaScript is the next best option
record(“Please leave your message at the beep. Press pound when finished to listen to your recording.”, {
“beep”:true,
“timeout”:10,
“silenceTimeout”:7,
“maxTime”:60,
“terminator”:”#”,
“recordURI”:”http://www.example.com/recording.py”,
“transcriptionOutURI”:”mailto:you@example.com”,
“onRecord”: lambda event : say(“You said ” + event.recordURI)
})
The Code [JAVASCRIPT]
record(“Please leave your message at the beep. Press pound when finished when finished to listen to your recording.”, {
beep:true,
timeout:10,
silenceTimeout:7,
maxTime:60,
terminator:’#’,
recordURI:”http://example.com/recording.js”,
transcriptionOutURI: “mailto:you@example.com”,
onRecord: function(event) {
say(“You said ” + event.recordURI);
}
});
My take
This is by no means a replacement for Unity Connection as a Voicemail server, which it does way more than this small Tropo application, but it is a great solution
