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

By C Chaitanya
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">తలుà°—ు పన
       à°šà°¸à°¤ుంà°¦</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

By C Chaitanya
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 ...

WhatsApp announced the launch of their business API yesterday. This is a big deal. A lot of businesses have been asking for WhatsApp integration and now its a possibility. Twilio has already launched an integration . Won't be long before we see a lot more integrations pop up. The most obvious use case is for support chat bots, alerts and reminders. But we at Ozonetel believe one other use case will become the dominant use case, WhatsApp as a support channel with human agents. We believe WhatsApp will become a dominant channel in contact centers world wide. There are multiple reasons for this: WhatsApp is ubiquitous. Everyone has the app. WhatsApp interface is well known to all customers. It is feature rich. You can share audio, video, location etc in the app itself. You can integrate bots for repetitive tasks. Being the leaders in cloud contact center solutions, we at Ozonetel knew that we had to integrate with the WhatsApp channel as early as possible....
