Adhearsion - Voice as an Application
Written by dean on Jan 29, 2009 - 05:20 PM
Jay Phillips has released a new version of Adhearsion, the open-source Ruby framework for Asterisk.
More than just a revision, this latest version actually appears to be pretty much a ground-up re-write and a big step is the inclusion of a new sandbox, so developers can try adhearsion without having to put together their own voice-proxying server.

Also news from Jay is that Jason Goecke has joined the Adhearsion team. I knew about this a little while ago, and most in the industry will already know that Jason has been on-off involved with Adhearsion for a couple of years. Great to see him now involved on a more full-time basis. Jason is best known here and around the web as muppetmaster.
Adhearsion is likely to be a succesful project for a number of reasons. First, Jay Phillips is about the most passionate person you can meet that's running a start-up. That counts for a lot. Go see him speak at any of the conference events and you'll see what I mean. And he speaks developers language to developers.
Secondly, Adhearsion brings voice functionality to Ruby and when you look around the Ruby community is where most of the really interesting applications are springing from. Ruby is a language that a type of person I call "the creative developer" gets attracted to because what Ruby offers the developer is extremely rapid development and fast route to market. So you get product guys that can code rather than coders that, well, just code (and worse, think they understand products).
So I'm expecting to see a lot of really interesting consumer propositions come out of Adhearsion being written by creative coders that just want to get a product out fast. And for me that's why it's an exciting project.
Right time, right place, right people.
