177 Voice Access Challenge ... are you the winner? Hmmmmm, I'm hanging out here reading about Yahoo SMS access and wondering why these people haven't picked up that we don’t need no stinking keyboards ... I want to use my voice over my phone to retrieve information and I want to do it, as the Pussycat Dolls say "maybe this lifetime" ... and since I know there are folks out there who can program rings around me, I want you to build it for me. Yes, I’m willing to pay. OK, so I’m not willing to pay much but here’s the deal ... I’ll give $177US to the first person who puts together the pieces so I can dial an 800 number, ask for a book, chapter and verses in the bible as in "Mark, chapter 1, verses 1 through 13" and have that passage read back to in a high quality voice. I’m thinking something like the current keyboard search at oremus Bible Browser only by voice over the phone, with something like one of the better AT&T Natural Voices reading back to me. To win the $177US, your bible, and since it’s my contest I’d like the New Revised Standard Version, would need to be on line for at least 30 days ... and hopefully might actually stay operational. Oh, yeah, I almost forgot, the challenge is only open for the next 177 days. Have you started yet?
