TokBox Rolls Out Video Recording API, Primes Its Monetization Pump
TokBox, a Sequoia-backed startup that offers tools for quickly integrating video functionality into apps and websites, is launching a new feature today for its OpenTok suite of video APIs: video recording and archiving. You may remember TokBox as the service that let users quickly jump into live video chats with each other, sort of like a web-based Skype video. But that changed this past February, when TokBox shuttered its struggling consumer-facing products and decided to focus exclusively on a set of video-focused APIs, storage, and streaming features collectively called the OpenTok platform. Obviously giving users the ability to record, save, and share video clips isn’t a new idea — people do it every day on sites like YouTube and Facebook — but the new video archiving API makes it relatively easy for other sites to integrate their own custom solutions.
AT&T Launches Voice-Controlled U-verse Easy Remote App - Bonnie Cha - Product News
In season five of “30 Rock,” Alec Baldwin’s character, Jack Donaghy, introduced a voice-controlled TV remote that — though hilarious — didn’t work too well. But maybe AT&T can get it right. Today, the company introduced a new mobile app that allows AT&T U-verse TV customers to operate their TVs via voice and gesture controls using iPhone or iPad. Available for free from the iTunes store, the U-verse Easy Remote App uses AT&T’s Watson speech-recognition technology to recognize and understand spoken words, and can even learn different accents and an individual’s speech patterns for better accuracy. With the technology, you’ll now be able to control your U-verse TV by giving simple voice commands such as channel up, replay, or record, or by saying the name of a TV show or channel number. But the app wasn’t designed just for a nation of couch potatoes.

Viber CEO takes on carriers' over-the-top attack | Mobile World Congress - CNET Reviews - Aurora
BARCELONA, Spain--Carriers love to bash companies like Skype and WhatsApp that provide services on top of their mobile networks at the Mobile World Congress trade show. But one thing was different this year: Viber Media founder and Chief Executive Talmon Marco entered the lion's den to defend the idea. Viber's free messaging service, which competes directly with carriers' own high-profit services for text- and multimedia-messaging services, is a prime example of the despised over-the-top (OTT) approach. "There's no difference between the SMS of 1993 and 2013," Marco said, whereas in the two years since its launch, Viber has added group messaging, delivery confirmation, indicators that the other person is typing, location sharing, and high-quality photos. He backed up his case with the example of Monaco, 90 percent of whose 35,000 population uses Viber -- even though SMS is free in the country. That's a stark contrast to Viber's business.
