Thanks Pierre. Tried a few time and got it in the end. Must just need to practice!

Chris, In Dial2do you just have to mark a little pause then pronouce "at todo" for @todo, and it workes fine for me. – Pierre, on September 19, 2008 16:13

Dial2do is good! It works, but I cannot get the tag to work.

So you say the word "Silence"?

I find that Jott still has smoother integration with Sandy and RTM. If you live outside the US, you can still use Jott with some trickery. You gotta sign up for Rebtel. I followed this guide:

Thanks Pierre. The trick of saying 'silence at todo' works well.

Hi Microdoc,
Using dial2do I have tagged my message by saying at the end of the message:
'silence' at todo which has been written as @todo!! :)
I have even succeeded in creating a tag with a non english word by spelling the unknown word:
at A L I A U M E ( which is the firstname of my son) which has been translated in the tag @aliaume).

Unlike Jott you can't tag something by saying 'tag with ...' and I can't think of a way of saying @ !
Still jolly good start

Fantastic! I have tested this in the UK and it works perfectly as described above. Many thanks.

Hi all,
I've tested dial2do today. It works in 19 countries including England and France (where I live).
I set up a contact entry for Sandy, call dial2do and ask to email Sandy a message (I said "Remember to catch my son at 5 pm" and the appointment was correctly registered by Sandy
My appointment was correctly registered by Sandy.
Furthermore, the link to the voice message sent by dial2do is accessible in the "More Context" of Sandy.
Nice :)

I'm having the exact same problem with reQall. I had similar problems getting reQall to talk to Sandy in the first place, due to their opt-in requirement. Finally got that figured out, started testing with voice, web and email, and since reQall puts quotes around everything Sandy doesn't recognize ANY of it. I REALLY want to be able to use reQall for everything.

I guess I'm not speaking clearly enough this morning as I said "This is a test message to post on get satisfaction for I want Sandy!" - however you get the idea, and I do like the spinvox service.

As you can see it does come from the spinvox generic email rather than a specific user email.

Anyway - I've had a very quick look round the site http://www.spinvox.com and there is twitter integration and ability to send text messages to certain people etc. Maybe something in here. Didn't see an API bit but only had a quick look.

I only signed up to Spinvox and Twitter (as not very big in my part of UK) in the last week so getting to know the functions.

I guess for this issue if Sandy could disregard the quotes in the message if contacts the words spinvox that would be good. Could then just set up a forwarding email address.

Thanks for your help, great site!

Cheers,

Chris

Howdy,

Does Spinvox from what you've seen have any sort of developer API? Or at the very least is there any indication that the message came from you through Spinvox rather than their generic "spin-my-broadcast@spinvox.com" address?

Any chance you could post a sample message (headers and all) from Spinvox here? (NOTE: please do xxxxx out all identifying information.)

The only option I could see would be to run a PERL script on any mail from Spinvox to replace quotes with spaces and then forward it to Sandy. One would have to be receiving mail on a machine that was always on for this to work. Not very useful for the average user!

Thanks for the reply.

As well as the quote problem there is the forwarding problem. I have tried to have my Spinvox post forwarded using a filter in my gmail account but in testing the process I can see that my forwarded emails still say they come from spin-my-broadcast@spinvox.com, and as I don't own this address I can't get Sandy to confirm it.

I'd love to find a workaround for both these issues.

I couldn't.

What I did, as a test, was to get Spinvox to send the email to me. I then manually removed the quotes that Spinvox puts around the transcribed text and then, in theory, I could have forwarded it to Sandy for action.

What is required is for Sandy to ignore quotes when they originate from a spinvox domain. Her natural behaviour is to ignore everything in quotes so, at present, Sandy won't work with Spinvox.

Sorry to raise any hopes!

How did you get Sandy to confirm the Spinvox email address?
