Have Your Voice Heard by G20 Leaders

This week sees leaders from all over the world convene in London for this year’s G20 Summit.
The G20, for those of you that don’t know, is laid out as an informal forum that promotes open and constructive discussion between industrial and emerging-market countries on key issues related to global economic stability.
By contributing to the strengthening of the international financial architecture and providing opportunities for dialogue on national policies, international co-operation, and international financial institutions, the G20 aims to help support growth and development across the globe.
Topics high on the agenda for this year’s summt are tackling the worldwide recession that is affecting us all and of course, the more long term problem of climate change.
It goes without that these leaders will be locked away in their own meeting room, away from the public eye and behind a veritable fortress of security; so making sure your voice is heard will prove no easy task.
Fortunately…
SpinVox has teamed up with our friends at Moblog to help support the G20Voice project.
Fr this next part, I think I’ll hand over to Alfie Dennen, co-founder of Moblog and G20Voice supporter:
“The G20Voice project represents an amazing opportunity to give people around the world a voice that can be heard at the G20 Summit, and that’s where Moblog and our voice partner SpinVox come in.
Through the Spinvox voice to text service and Moblog’s mobile blogging platform, we are able to provide a service enabling people all over the world to simply call a local number to ask a world leader attending the summit a question. The technology converts the speech to text, and posts it along with the audio to the G20Voice moblog. All of the questions asked will be collated and the best of them will be asked directly of the world leaders to whom they are posed….”
