Here is a brief presentation of MyVocal - pretty much a copy of a presentation from Seedcamp Paris

How often are you updating your podcasts? Ever forgot updating your feeds before jumping into the car? With MyVocal you do not need to prepare your trip - your content is just a phone call away!

Build your Favorites selection on MyVocal and fetch your favorite content with any device - mp3 players, iPhone or ANY PHONE, even a fixed line!

How to add content to your favorites? Simple! First, you need to have a user account. When you sign in on www.myvocal.com you will see a content discovery page with your playlist and favorites on your right.

Just drag&drop any title into your favorites tree - system will automatically assign the shortcode which you can use to fetch corresponding channel when you dial into any of the access numbers.

My favorites, specifically, look like this:

With Favorites of MyVocal you can easily run through your favorite content: you can  either listen to your updates channel by channel, or simply look through a “meta-feed” of all recent stories. Here is how it looks on my iphone (iphone.myvocal.com):

Try this out and let us know what you think.

More to follow!

It is a great pleasure to see how our service is being shaped up and the time is coming to share some highlights of what MyVocal is about.

Those of you who participated in Private Beta programme have already discovered the main difference of MyVocal from any other audio service: we deliver various spoken-word audio content (podcasts, news, travelguides, audiobooks) in a unified form. As result, you can browse the library starting from Category (Business, Education, Technology, etc.) or starting from Product (Podcasts, News, Web):

You can also safely select “All” and see all titles which you can then sort by popularity, novelty, or just click on any of the categories:

Finally, you can search the whole directory using keywords - you will immediately get most relevant results of all the types - either from news channels, podcasts, or web…. This is even more practical if you are searching for the latest audio-stories on your cellphone.

To be continued… stay tuned!

This is the first post on our blog so we certainly feel a very high responsibility while writing these lines…  and a HUGE responsibility for starting this new story!

When we try to formulate what MyVocal is all about, we can only come up with these words…

“A Life Improver”

In today’s world there are so many things which you can spend your time on (in alphabetic order) - airports, blogs, cars, emails, facebooks, joosts, newspapers & youtubes - most of which are consuming the same precious time which you would be much better-off spending with your parents, friends, children, your loved ones….

At MyVocal we try to free up a liiiiittle bit of your time for those ever-shortening moments of the real life… so short but so important ones!

We are launching private Beta of MyVocal service today making it available for our friends and people who we were in touch over the past few months anticipating the day when our Web site will be ready. In fact, MyVocal is operational for over 6 months with few partners and pilot projects - we are now delivering the freedom of the mobile audio to few hundred of users. We are extremely happy to make it available today to even more our friends and supporters!

If you happen to have our Beta invite - do check out what’s inside. If not - singn-in to receive one. We are releasing the service with many cool stuff like Facebook & Twitter integration, fee downloadable Java app for your cellphone, plugin for your Firefox browser, etc. Hope you will enjoy not only the service itself but also those small “whistles”.

Big thanks to the millions of developers around the world making those great open source tools & free API which we use… We dream about making our service as open and useful as yours!

Enjoy and stay tuned!

Yours,

MyVocal Team
