Instant messaging company Odigo said it will provide a voice-enabled instant messaging service, which would let its members send instant messages via any phone, including wireless services.
The service, dubbed Voice Instant Messaging, was created with voice application provider Audium. Odigo is still seeking telecommunications companies, Net access providers and others to carry the technology.
Odigo said its new service would take advantage of advanced speech recognition technologies, which allow the delivery of Web-based content and messaging services through any phone.
The company said people would be able to access their buddy lists as well as record and send voice instant messages to individuals or buddy groups. The new service also would let people listen to incoming messages that are converted to text and read by the Audium application. [Discuss]
