I am an avid blogger. I love both reading and writing blog entries on anything and everything. In recent years, the Internet has experienced a surge in blog postings, on everything from international affairs and technological discoveries, to personal blogs on life musings. For many, blogging is a daily activity that occurs both in personal and professional life. Bloggers and blogs readers spend an overwhelming amount of time trying to construct and peruse blog postings. What if there was an easier way to do this on the go? This is where an IVR system could come in handy. For all the blog authors out there, an IVR system could be put in place that would allow users to call in, enter their blog URL and login information, and then begin verbally recording their blog post. The program could then use transcription services to write out the spoken post and save it in an accessible word processing document. Users on the go would be able to record blog posts from anywhere, and once they reached a computer, would be able to edit and formulate recorded texts. Avid blog readers could also use IVR on the go to hear their favorite blog posts. Readers could call in, enter the URL of their favorite blogs, and relax as their favorite posts were read to them telephonically. In a world that moves at the speed of light, interactive voice response systems could offer huge help to users trying stay on top of goings on in the blogosphere!
