at Leading German Mobile Carrier
03/19/2005 02:20 AMFollowing the successful launch of its Ring-Up-Tones at the CeBIT in
2004, Vodafone D2 is now vastly expanding its capacities for this
value-added service based on ECT’s Ring Back Tone Application. ECT,
Europe’s market leader for intelligent value-added services in
fixed-line and mobile networks, won the follow-up contract for the
realisation of the project. “The ring back tone service has been very
successful across Europe and has emerged as a profitable application
for mobile carriers,” said Dr. Marshall E. Kavesh, CEO and co-founder
of the ECT Group. “I am very pleased that the successes we predicted
for this innovative service have been realised so quickly.” [PRWEB Mar

03/22/2005 04:24 PM I love text-to-speech. I love it even more when it sounds clear.
As such, I wrote Text Reader to
save some documents as audio to my iPod. However, I realized later,
Mac OS X's default voices .. well ... suck. Then I came across these
gems. While the engine that takes words and creates phonemes is the
same (it's Mac OS X) the end result from those phonemes is much
clearer. Finally, after ten years of TTS on
the Mac, someone releases a third-party voice for it.

I participated in the Global Voices session at the Berkman Center
and promised earlier to post my thoughts. The bad news is that we
didn't get far enough to come up with a conclusive plan, but the good
news is that I think we have enough momentum to move forward. The
discuss was quite sober and practical and was not nearly as
techno-utopian as we are often criticized of being and often tend to
get.
I think the key difference between this meeting and others that I
have attended was the large number of mediums (Wikipedia, OhmyNews,
traditional journalism, human rights organizations, bloggers, TV and
radio) as well as the strong regional diversity (Iraq, Iran, Malaysia,
Kenya, Korea, China, Japan, Pakistan, US and many others). Most of the
people in the room were already members of a variety of organizations
and projects so we tried to find a common ground. I think that we came
to a consensus that freedom of speech and providing voice was
extremely important and this could and should take various forms. We
agreed to commit to working together to help each other in our
efforts. I'll post more when we are a bit more organized, but you can
see the discussion we are having on the blog, see a
partial list of the participants on Hoder's
wiki (it will be moved to a permanent place soon), see a log of the
real-time transcripts provided by SJ and join us on #globalvoices
on Freenode to chat. There are more resources on the blog. Sorry it's
a bit disorganized right now. We will try to organize it more soon.
One of the things we hope to do is be much more inclusive of ways to
participate and not focus on any one mode. This will complicate things
a bit, but I think it's worth it.

12/25/2004 04:50 PM
It's 6AM Christmas morning in Japan right now. Today I'm reflecting
on the past year and thinking about the future and I'm thinking about
Global Voices. Hopefully most of you are with your family with some
time to relax, think about priorities and reflect. I'm sure there are
a lot of TV shows about "Peace on earth, goodwill to men," and you've
probably sent and received a lot of UNICEF Christmas cards. You should
be in the perfect mood to think about Global Voices. In the past, we
had to rely on TV shows to try to feel empathy for people in other
countries and organizations such as UNICEF to try to give our support
to humanitarian efforts. These were and are noble efforts. However, at
our fingertips, we have the ability to reach out and speak to, build
bridges with and interact with those people we have been "wishing
well" to in the abstract for all of these years. We have a long way to
go before we are able to hear the voices of everyone on earth, but I
believe that providing voices and building bridges is essential for
the World Peace we all wish for.
We have changed the "Global Voices Manifesto" to "Global Voices
Covenant 0.2". We have edited it for awhile on the wiki, but this
version is frozen.
I'm not normally a very religious person, but I feel pretty
religious about this.
Global
Voices Covenant 0.2
We believe in free speech: in protecting the
right to speak -- and the right to listen. We believe in universal
access to the tools of speech.
To that end, we want to enable everyone who wants to speak to have
the means to speak -- and everyone who wants to hear that speech, the
means to listen to it.
Thanks to new tools, speech need no longer be controlled by those
who own the means of publishing and distribution, or by governments
that would restrict thought and communication. Now, anyone can wield
the power of the press. Everyone can tell their stories to the
world.
We want to build bridges across the gulfs of culture and language
that divide people, so as to understand each other more fully. We want
to work together more effectively, and act more powerfully.
We believe in the power of direct connection. The bond between
individuals from different worlds is personal, political and powerful.
We believe conversation across boundaries is essential to a future
that is free, fair, prosperous and sustainable - for all citizens of
this planet.
While we continue to work and speak as individuals, we also want to
identify and promote our shared interests and goals. We pledge to
respect, assist, teach, learn from, and listen to one other.
We are Global Voices.
We're trying to translated it
into other languages. If you have some time over the holidays and feel
like helping out, please jump in. You can come to the #globalvoices
IRC channel on Freenode or just go to the
wiki and add a translation there. Any of
language links in red have not been done yet. You can also edit one
that has been translated if you find any errors or to go the "talk"
section of that wiki page to talk about the translation.
Please take a look at the Global Voices
blog. We're looking for additional people and projects to hook up
with so let us know if you can contribute to Global Voices or have a
project that could tie in with Global Voices.
PS I'm not sending any Christmas or New Years cards this year
because I don't want to kill any more trees (and I'm lazy). I'm not
sending email greetings because mass mailings are becoming
indistinguishable from spam. Instead, I offer this blog entry. For the
more personal touch, I'm relying on my birthday reminder to remind me
to say hi to my friends in a way that distributes the work across the
year.
UPDATE: Says _sj_ our translation expert. "Translate a few lines or
a paragraph or put up a bad translation and leave a note above it
saying it is incomplete."
