Topic: REQ: Google Voice

This would be MOST USEFUL ... it can be as easy as pointing to the mobile site at https://www.google.com/voice/m.

Think about all of the chumbies sitting on night stands next to the phone. This would give us google voice users visual voice mail- and if it allowed playback, would be TRULY useful.

Re: REQ: Google Voice

That'd be a really cool project.  Unfortunately I don't have a Google Voice account, or I'd take a look and see what it'd take to get that working.

Re: REQ: Google Voice

I'm interested in this, and I'm not even in the area the beta is going on in.

In fact, I didn't even know this existed until today. Thanks for the heads up! What doesn't google do?

Re: REQ: Google Voice

GoogleVoice = new name for GrandCentral.

They are still in controlled sign-up, signup at https://services.google.com/fb/forms/googlevoiceinvite/

The last request I made was granted in under 2 weeks. YMMV. Maybe if CHUMBY talked to them, they'd move faster on it??

Re: REQ: Google Voice

+1 for this!!!

Re: REQ: Google Voice

Any news or additional input?

Re: REQ: Google Voice

I have an account and would really be happy to see a widget up and running for this. Once I get some more invites I will give them to people willing to work on making one.

But if someone really wants their hands on one they sell them for a couple bucks on ebay.

Re: REQ: Google Voice

+1 If any developer is interested in building a Google Voice app, I'd be most willing to donate an invite. shoot me a note. keefermilton(at)gmail(dot)com.

Re: REQ: Google Voice

Great idea, i just got a google voice account and this widget would be neat!

Re: REQ: Google Voice

I would love to take a look, but I can't promise anything.  I've never used it so an invite would be required.

Thanks in advance.

Re: REQ: Google Voice

I'm not a flash guy, but you might want to take a look at this Firefox plugin:

The hard part, I think, would be parsing the JSON, but that at least gives you a list of URLs to tickle to get things to happen.

Thanks.  That proved very helpful.

Re: REQ: Google Voice

Say hello to Joice.

Thanks to the invite from keefermilton here is a little "test" widget that hopefully allows you to play your Google Voice voicemail.  It's all a hack job so don't expect stability. tongue

It looks like from what I have read, that the official Google Voice api should be coming out soonish, so I am not sure I want to put a ton of work into this widget yet.

Works for me, so if anyone else can test it and has any positive results, let me know.

Thanks again keefermilton.

Cheers.

Re: REQ: Google Voice

Awesome work Cbreeze! It works like a Charm!!

Re: REQ: Google Voice

Nice work (as usual), cbreeze!

Re: REQ: Google Voice

Awesome!  Thanks.

Re: REQ: Google Voice

Great work, and fast! I can't wait to try this, it will come in very handy, my chumby one is still on backorder though. Will definitely be installed as soon as I get it!

Re: REQ: Google Voice

+++++ Thank you VERY much!!!!

This is a great widget. One request ... actually 2...

1. I like names vs. phone numbers - is there a way to use the name on the 1st screen and then display the name + phone number (maybe even the icon/avatar if you have it uploaded to google contacts?) on the second screen?

2. Is there anyway in this widget to let me switch to "missed" or "received" or "archived" or "starred" messages (the other folders from GV;s main screen?)

Here's an app that someone wrote in AdobeAir - I leave it running on my desktop for the most part:  http://rstoeber.com/apps/Google_Voice_Utility.html


Thanks again for ANOTHER great widget!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the kind words!  Because of the possibility of the official api releasing soon, I am not really interested in the amount of "screen scraping" this would take right now.  But rest assured I will get it in there the moment the api is released. smile

Yes I can do this now, of course it will still only list numbers for the time being.

Very cool, it is a portal for the mobile site - pretty smart, but we don't have that capability via Flash for the chumby.

Thanks again for ANOTHER great widget!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You got it!  Don't forget to rate and comment on the main site if you can, it means quite a lot. wink

Cheers.
