SpinVox, the company know for their award winning voicemail to text product, will announce a new product aimed at bloggers next week.
Spin-my-Blog allows bloggers to ring a phone number and dictate a blog post which is then converted into text and posted on the blog. The service, which is due to launch at next weeks 3GSM, allows bloggers using any handset or network to post live from wherever they are in the world.
No doubt this is a significant step forward for bloggers as it means instant posts with the latest news without having to wait until they are near a PC. Imagine blogging from a beach on holiday or covering a sports game live from the stadium.
Daniel Doulton, co-founder and VP of strategy and development at SpinVox, commented:
Speaking is the easiest and most natural way of communicating our thoughts, ideas and opinions. What is exciting about Spin-my-Blog is that it enables anyone to express their ideas instantly just by making a simple phone call, saying their blog post, and having it appear online.
Spin-my-Blog is already playing a pivotal role in enabling communities to stay in touch wherever they are, sharing their thoughts with their online community simply by saying them. The fact is that important events, experiences and thoughts, ones we want to share don’t happen when we’re in front of a PC but when we’re out and about! We have defined and made mobile blogging a reality – voice can now be used to create web content in an instant, from any phone, anywhere.
Spin-my-Blog is currently going through extended trials and is available as a free trial at: www.spinvox.com/blog
