KooKoo partners with AksharSpeech to provide Telugu and Hindi Text to speech services

We are starting of the new year with a new partnership.

Thanks to Aksharspeech(http://www.aksharspeech.com/) the <playtext>
tag now supports Hindi and Telugu with Kannada coming soon. Just
mention the language in the attribute "lang"

With this, developers can now build telephony applications with text
to speech in local languages.

We also thank Aksharspeech for working with us in integrating the services .

This attribute is free to try in the KooKoo developer account. For
paid accounts to use this, there will be an extra charge of Rs.500 per
KooKoo account per month.

Example XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><response filler="yes">
<playtext speed="2" quality="normal" lang="TE">తలుగు పన
చసతుంద</playtext>
<playtext speed="2" quality="normal">In English</playtext>
<playtext speed="2" quality="normal" lang="HI">हिदी चल रही ह </playtext>
<hangup/>
</response>

NOTE: Text must be encoded in UTF-8

So go ahead, start building voice apps in local languages.

Integrating Arborjs with Angular to create a live calls dashboard

Arborjs is a cool graph visualization library. Angular is one of the best JavaScript frameworks and we have been using Angular in a lot of our front end development. When you handle millions of calls, proper visualization becomes very important. Without proper visualization, you can get lost in the mountains of data. So we spend a lot of time to come up with good visualizations to represent the data. Since we loved the cool way in which Arbor represented graph data, we could not wait to hook it up with Angular. Because of Angular's two way data binding, when you hook up Angularjs with Arbor.js you can get a dynamically updated visualization of graph data with cool animations. To give back to the community, we have put up the code online at Github . Basically we have created an Angularjs directive for Arborjs. Please feel free to fork the code and add extensions and use it for your own visualizations. The code is self explanatory with comments inline. Best way to get s

Telecommunication Revolution & Cloud Telephony

Telecommunication Revolution & Cloud Telephony Every one talking that world power has shifted from west to east, next century belongs to India and China, as China is an aging country, everyone is betting very high on India. To find the reality, I have done a comparative study between India and western countries. The result was really depressing, in most of sectors/areas we are way behind the developed countries, except one sector i.e. “Telecommunication”. You can see in the above picture the call rate, which was at Rs 15.5/min has dropped to less than a Rupee/min. The telephone subscriber base has also increased a rate of 40% YoY (approx.). According to Mar’15 release by TRAI, India has 999.71 million telephone subscriber, now we are in Sep’15. We would have crossed 1 billion mark. This is the overall picture of telephone subscriber, but if we look internet and broadband subscriber base it is also very optimistic. Apart from that recently Airtel has launched 4G servic
