Mobivox Adds French and Spanish to Its Mobile Platform

Mobivox, a provider of voice-activated mobile services, has added French and Spanish language capabilities to its mobile platform.

The patent-pending Mobivox|PL platform now interacts with names and spoken commands in French and Spanish, particularly the idiomatic Spanish spoken widely in Latin America. The platform soon will support the Castillian Spanish, and the company plans to add a Portuguese-language capability early next year.

“Developing the ability to support speakers of French, Spanish, and other languages is a logical next step in our drive to make our platform the clear international leader in voice-activated mobile services,” said Mobivox CEO Peter Diedrich. “The platform’s ability to introduce high-population languages like these quickly enables our partners to serve more users in more places.”

Mobivox¦PL enables partners to deploy and monetize voice-activated person-to-person and person-to-group communications services. For all Mobivox services, including its inbound and outbound mobile VoIP offerings, end users simply speak names or commands to initiate, manage, and control voice-based communications.

Sebastien Brault, CEO and founder of UNYK.com, a Mobivox partner, said: “As we continue Unyk’s rapid growth internationally, we believe that making our Mobivox-powered Unyk by Phone service available to our users in their chosen language will accelerate its adoption. We selected the Mobivox¦PL platform because it enables us to offer our audience value-added services they’re willing to pay for. Mobivox continues to add the tools and services we need to succeed.”

Mobivox¦PL’s open application programming interface enables “mashups” with other voice services. Furthermore, its communications infrastructure is network-agnostic, meaning partners anywhere in the world can take advantage of it to deliver value-added voice-activated services to their users.
