Tringme has announced the availability of it’s platform API’ for free. With this, developers can easily code rich internet application based on voice in a matter of hours if not minutes. The API’ cover pure web development environments like PHP, Ajax, and also supports Adobe AIR, Flex, Symbian S60 etc. Using this voice can be very easily integrated for communication over IP in new and innovative ways, enabling cheap Flash-based web phones and mobile devices to use VOIP. The scenario of making phone calls from virtual worlds to real worlds and vice-versa is taken to the next step.

Excerpts from the blog post:

Using the simple to use REST based APIs, developers can add telephony capabilities to their apps in a matter of couple of hours. TringMe’s APIs will allow developers to configure and utilize any number of call origination and call termination options as supported by TringSwitch (PSTN, Mobile Phones, VoIP apps, SIP URIs, IM - Gtalk, SMS-initiated calls, Web applications, Browser, Desktop widgets etc).

Tringme also opened up it’ source code for the Flash-based telephony widgets giving the developer community a huge resource and helping hand to build robust communication applications. The recently popularized Adobe AIR is also supported, so desktop based, web-enabled, online-offline applications would be a breeze to code supported by the voice API’s. The API details can be accessed at http://tringme.com/developer.php A number of sample applications and widgets alongwith submitted ones will soon be put up on their website.

More excerpts:

To commit itself to the developer community, TringMe also opens up the source code of it’s Flash based widgets. We really want the developers to get a headstart in writing quality applications that integrate voice as a fundamental part of the internet. For e.g. if someone is interested in offering a web-based click-to-call solution based on callback technology (i.e type in your number, type in the destination number and click “call”), as offered by companies like Jajah, Jaxtr, etc. they can implement the meat of the offering in a matter of couple of hours with TringMe APIs.

TringMe’s Mobile-VoIP offering can be leveraged by developers as well. Essentially, it opens up a way by which mobile applications can interface with TringMe. Mobile VoIP customization capability is currently available to limited set of partners and will be available to all developers soon.

So let the voice enabled apps, built on a platform that’s specially optimized for telephony, begin to flow. In other words, let TringMe worry about enabling a reliable voice connection on the internet+mobile and you figure out ways to incorporate this feature in areas where it truly matters - areas like real world scenarios wherein voice can play a dominant effect - and means to creatively monetize the integration thereafter.
