Yes. You heard it right. Those awesome folk over at Audioboo are DEFINITELY working with our SpinVox Create API programme to create all sorts of audio -> text wonderments.
This is, I must admit… a bit of a crowd pleaser 
There have been a fair few tweets and emails exchanged about this. Audioboo has a lot of fans you see and – fortunately enough for us – those same fans just so happen to be big fans of SpinVox too!
“When will SpinVox work with Audioboo?”
“Imagine if Audioboo had SpinVox plugged in?”
“Will someone at SpinVox PLEASE get involved!”
OK ok ok! We listened! 
I hinted at it myself a few months ago and then Audioboo went and mentioned it in the Guardian Digital Blog ‘PDA’, and today?
Well we’re kind of making it official.
Audioboo – if you didn’t know – aims to become the ‘Twitter of the spoken word’ via its (actually quite fantastic) audio recording and broadcasting platform. If you know anything about SpinVox at all then you kind of know where I’m going with this.
Basically, our API is being implemented in the back end as we speak and will very soon be used to automatically convert speech to text across Audioboo’s applications
Hang on, I’ve got a couple of quotes here…
Audioboo CEO, Mark Rock, said: “The deal with Spinvox is of immense importance to Audioboo as we roll out both our API and business model. With the Audioboo API, any developer will be able to build their own mobile and web applications to record to Audioboo and SpinVox integration will be an important addition to that which we can deliver simply and quickly through the SpinVox API.”
Wait… there’s more
“On a wider scale, we have already begun to roll out Audioboo Pro accounts for media companies, these increase the recording time available and add a variety of web-based tools – such as moderation- to help companies manage content. Spinvox integration will be an additional feature for Audioboo Pro, allowing journalists a simple way to record draft articles and have them automatically converted to text and sent to their news desks.”
Audioboo was established in March 2009, and, already, more than one Audioboo audio recording (boo) is being made every five minutes. The Audioboo.fm website is attracting more than 100,000 unique users, RSS and iTunes links every week with over 1000 hours of audio having been uploaded by the more than 30,000 registered users.
Wow.
BRING ON THE BOOS!
Find out more about Audioboo over on their website, or better yet – just download it onto your iPhone. We love it.

Why oh why. Spin Vox – the greatest con known to man. We all know that Spin Vox technology is actually call centre staff typing voice mail’s up – including India which is a massive Data Protection Act issue BTW). So we are adding a layer of labour to a Tweet!! Just type it and save the world some energy
