Skype Voice Services Are Here!

There are a number of Skype Voice Services now available to skype users. Most of them involve a per minute fee, but a few demos are free. For example, you can dial the VoxPlorer Receptionist demo by calling +99000745745140. When prompted to say department, speak "New-York transit travel information".

You can browse a list of skype voice services that are currently available at:

Skype Voice Services are built upon the VoiceXML platforms offered by Tellme, Voxeo, and VoxPilot. Its not entirely clear which application is hosted by which platform, but I guess it doesn't matter from the end user perspective. :-)

I tried these out using skype from my PC and recognition works great. Seems to work just as well for me as the typical POTS call to a tellme-like service.
