We have a new feature, you can create events by speaking into your cell phone! It’s ultra-beta and we’re only fortunate enough to have it thanks to the support of Spinvox.
Here’s how:
1. Create a Spongecell account
2. View your calendar
3. Click on My Profile
4. Enter your cell phone number
5. Click ‘Send Test Message’ to make sure you entered your number correctly
6. Dial 415-692-3392
7. After the message, describe an event e.g. “remind me to go to the conference tomorrow morning”
8. In about a few minutes you should see the event appear on your calendar
9. Tomorrow you will get an sms reminder. It’s conference time!
This cool new feature is powered by Spinvox who was gracious enough to lend us a phone number. Spinvox’s translating power combined with Anthony Yam’s original Spongecell NLP let’s ordinary humans change speech into events.
You can also use this service to query for events. Say the word “today” to get an sms of today’s events, “tomorrow” for tomorrow’s events or “next” for a description of the next event on your calendar.
See you at RailsConf!
many things to discuss… But anyway I’m not going to discuss such a personal topic. Reading it is ok, but discussing it makes you look like a chatter –box and a rumor-spreader.
