GetVocal inc. is the latest mobile/telephony 2.0 venture founded by Chris Matthieu. The mobile 2.0 market is the next evolution of anywhere, anytime computing technology. Platforms such as the Apple iPhone or Google's Android OS are changing the way we interact with companies and each other in an always-on world. Mobile computing devices have become extremely powerful and now support full-featured web browsers. Open platforms allow developers to innovate and GetVocal is setting the pace.

The Telephony 2.0 market is the next evolution of IVRs. Voice Portal applications built on enterprise VoiceXML or new open source solutions such as Asterisk (r) are changing the way we re-introduce our customers to innovative telephone channels.

Whether you are looking for a mobile social network or a speech-based Voice Portal application or an HTML-to-VoiceXML transcoder or a multi-modal iPhone-SMS-MMS application, GetVocal can build it for you. We use the latest tools such as Ruby on Rails and open source solutions. In fact, we even host the Rubyology podcast for programmers.
