After another long break. This is what has been happening: I resigned from Accel Animation Studios around 5 months back, and joined Uniphore Software Systems on the 22nd of September, 2008, which incidentally happens to be my birth day too. Uniphore was incubated out of RTBI, which is a part of IIT Madras.

Uniphore builds voice based IVR systems in Indian languages using Automated Speech Recogniton. Uniphore has also developed a patent pending technology which helps improve speech regocnition accuracy to very high levels.

Out of all the researches and experiments happening at Uniphore, one of the very interesting products that has come out is Noddler. Noddler is a platform for developers and businesses to create IVR applications easily. All you have to do is come to the Noddler SANDBOX site, create a call flow and then, you have your very own menu driven IVR application ready. You can also get it to interact with your APIs, both get data for the IVR application to speak or recognize, and to send the caller’s responses to your server. The GUI for building the applications is slightly slow and ugly, but we’re working on it too.

Once you create an application, it goes into the sandbox where you can test it. Once we’re happy with the application too, we can proceed towards making the application live.

There are a lot of more things happening, but this is all I can say for the time being. Expect to see more exciting things, and register at Noddler and try the services to get a feel of what your final applications would be like. If you are a developer, do try out the Noddler SANDBOX.
