Creating a voicemail app, even for the PC, is rather tricky business. The case is a lot more complex while working with mobile voicemail apps, with the coder having to think of too many issues and solutions at one time.

Fortunately for new devs, all this has changed for the better, thanks to YouMail Inc., a company that provides state-of-the-art digital secretary services for mobile voicemail.

YouMail is now offering Open API for developers seeking to create code for mobile voicemail apps. Fully exploiting the powerful features of YouMail's digital secretary capabilities with the Open API will enable devs to write mobile voicemail apps without too much trouble.

Using the unique enterprise-class mobile voicemail platform from YouMail, developers can effectively embed voice-to-text transcriptions and also work with its other message managing services.

With YouMail, developers can:

  • Use YouMail accounts to provide customers with visual voicemail, personalized greeting and so on
  • Invoke SMS or email voice-to-text message transcription services
  • Create “drop box” services to route voice messages from a user’s inbox to another user or group of users
  • Manage long-term storage and accessibility of messages

YouMail’s Open API can also help the developer integrate it into many apps and systems, which include the following:

  • Telephony systems, especially for the corporate sector
  • Call-center software, CRM applications and other big business enterprise solutions
  • Vertical applications to store and access huge amounts of client data, such as in the legal or medical industry
  • Mobile apps to run on major smartphones and Java-enabled dumbphones

Using YouMail, you as the developer, can quickly create voicemail-based mobile apps, which will work fast and accurately, earning you a good deal of customer goodwill and increasing your revenue.

The YouView visual voicemail app from Palm Pre, which was developed with the YouMail platform, has proved to be quite a success today and other smartphones are now following suit.

The YouMail Open API is available free of cost at YouMail. You can also find it at iTunes, AppWorld and Android Market.
