I guess the first question I should answer is, \u201cwhat in the heck is Hypervoice<\/i>?\u201d\u00a0 Hypervoice is one of those things that is so simple of an idea it\u2019s almost difficult to explain.\u00a0 Almost to the point that you wonder why we haven\u2019t thought of it before now.\u00a0 The idea is improving on voice communications to make them operate more like our text ones, but not by using just some run of the mill speech-to-text software.\u00a0 Let me explain.<\/p>\n

Text has come a long way.\u00a0 In the business world we rarely write anything by hand anymore.\u00a0 Most of it is typed up and sent out via email.\u00a0 We have gone on a long journey from typewriters to faxes, from instant messaging to email.\u00a0 As we have grown so has our tech, and we no longer just use plain text, we use hypertext.\u00a0 When we talk to someone on a chat program or email, we link to files or websites, effectively enhancing our conversations.\u00a0 However we speak aloud in voice chat, whether it be over a video conference or over a softphone program like Skype, we regress a little.\u00a0 We lose this ability to effectively share, unless we go back to text based communication to share our links or documents.\u00a0 So this is the idea behind hypervoice.\u00a0 What if voice could be like hypertext<\/i>?\u00a0 What if when you were verbally talking about a client their file would automatically come up?\u00a0 Or when you were discuss the 2013 budget reports they would automatically link in the voice recording.<\/p>\n

For years we\u2019ve tried to make our input easier for the computer to understand.\u00a0 Voice to text software is still anything by perfect to this day. It\u2019s about time we make the computers focus on us.\u00a0 Hypervoice methods and technology would make the computer focus on the user\u2019s conversations, enhancing them to a great degree.<\/p>\n

There will be issues that have to tackled, such as privacy of documents and which ones you want to be accessed or shared while communicating.\u00a0 But imagine the benefits of a computer that can keep up with you as you are communicating with your coworkers.\u00a0 I can\u2019t tell you how many times I have had to stop a conference call and make someone wait for 5 minutes so I could find an email, simply to confirm a date or a price.\u00a0 With Hypervoice, my clutter wouldn\u2019t slow me or anyone else down.<\/p>\n
