Call Your Tel Domain Call a Business or a Person by Voice using .Tel DNS Contact Data

This application demonstrates how a consumer with a smart phone could potentially make a call
to a business or person just by voicing the related .tel domain or service into their phone.
With location-aware GPS, local results can be delivered first.


Click the microphone icon, say the domain or keyword(s) you are interested in and wait for the results.
This app finds the contact info from the DNS data for the associated tel domain. Additional, location-sensitive topical information is retrieved from Telpages.
Mobile phone manufacturers should embrace this evolving technology to make even smarter smart phones. Intelligent, local hands-free calling.

I emailed Apple a year ago. Just got a reply that they are always looking for ways to improve products and services and was forwarded to the appropriate group for review and consideration.

Bug ID #: xxxxxxxx
Bug Title: SIRI and .Tel Domains
-------------------------------------------------------
mark kolb:
Summary: SIRI not recognizing .tel domains andd contextual information within.

Steps to Reproduce: say "www.apple.tel"
Expected Results: goes to www.apple.tel Actual Results: varies, sometimes goes to www.apple.com or tries apple.nl

Steps to Reproduce: call "www.apple.tel"
Expected Results: finds Apple's phone number and calls Apple support.

Steps to Reproduce: email "www.justin.tel"
Expected Results: finds Justin's email and launches email app.

Notes:

Tel domain DNS records contain formatted contextually-accurate contact information. Apple itself has .tel domains that should be taken advantage of ...
www.apple.tel
www.stevejobs.tel (RIP)
www.woz.tel

Tel domains are merely rendering DNS information, so at apple.tel, the DNS contains DNS NAPTR records for your phone number and website.

Apple through SIRI needs to be a leader in exploiting contextual information in DNS via .tel domains. No need to parse a website to find a phone number or email. It's right there in the DNS waiting for a killer app.

See an example of SIRI simulation at www.telcall.me using Chrome (HMTL5 voice object) and direct DNS lookup. Say "apple" and see what happens. This is what SIRI needs to replicate.

It would be ideal for someone at Apple to contact www.telnic.org, the .tel domain registry, and support DNS lookups for contextual information. This has huge potential for being the only voice-activated web and call-by-name solution.

Skype Status Button on .tel domain















TELcp has added a new feature for the .tel domain. Both tel Owners and ten Users can now display the Skype Status Button on any .tel page. As shown above, the status button will be displayed right under the header of the .tel page and occupies the space allocated for top image ad (image banner). The Real Time status of the Skype user will be clearly displayed on desktop proxy and mobile proxy.

 The only disadvantage is that the ,tel User/Owner has to sacrifice the top banner to pave the way for the newcomer. However, .tel based directories will be greatly benefited from this feature.

 Looking forward to improve the VOIP capability between .tel pages (.tel page Users), so that family members and company staff sharing single .tel domain to display all their contact details will be able to maintain private communication network within the .tel.

Default Skype Status button

Hi to all,

Added new feature to TELcp to display Skype Status button right below the header on both desktop and mobile proxies.

Advantages: Displays if the Skype user is online or not. Click to call (click to call function may not work on some smartphones).

Disadvantage: Sacrifice the top image ad (in order to maintain uninterrupted Skype Status display you need to delete all top image ads).

Available to telowners and telusers through www.telcp.com.

Sample site at www.telcp.tel

Cheers!

Regards deleting top image ad.
Perhaps a better option for us with completely built out directories, is to have the offline/online status be incorporated AS PART OF the existing top banner. Especially if the existing top banner is only being used as an interface graphic (that is, the current link is not being used)

I'm not sure how your tool works just yet, could we instead use a URL image locator for our OWN on/off status button ie our own banners incorporating/showing the On/off status?

I think a FREE online and "live" booking or ordering (via a real time chat) is one of the best tools to offer so far.
I do not think that we will be given any additional banner space.
So need a way to double use of the top banner.
It's the perfect and obvious place only

Well, TELcp uses Skype ID insert window (just to make life easier for the user) and uploads it as an Image Ad (.tia). That's why you need to sacrifice the top image ad/banner.

However, this is only a beginning of our experiments to introduce a dedicated VOIP (in place of Skype) provided that we find the right partner for development as we are not experts on VOIP based solutions. We look forward to provide subdomain to subdomain VOIP free of charge. As mentioned on another thread we just started this VOIP+TEL project. But all depends on cost/investment etc.

Cheers!

@boracay.tel

Yes, custom banners can be designed to indicate on/off status.
But we don't want to go in to that depth as ultimately we will have to host those status banners. Means costing additional $$ for telcp.com bandwidth

Perhaps rethink the logic as to reference where the directory owner hosts his own banners (we would host 1 for ON, and 1 for Off, your program would just grab the right one at the right time???)
.
It's powerful stuff, but much better for owners to have own banners

@boracay

Understand your logic very well.
The programing of the customized status buttons and the hosting have to be at the same place. We might consider this option in our customized solutions of TELcp. And definitely providing free of charge through our telsurnames network.

I'd like to ask "why?"
Unfortunately, I am not prepared to give up that top space. And I'm betting 99.99% we won't get another.
I appreciate your efforts. I just wanted to ask if that was an option before I went any further with a very large directory project ( I'm currently building out)

@boracay

Third party services for .tel can provide only through what is available at present.
With regards to the image ads/banners we are allowed only HTML inputs. Therefore, all processing has to be done at one place and be prepared to supply the required info instantly.
Developers would have done much more if the .tel accepts java script. But, unfortunately it doesn't.

Well, even with this available technology we can let anyone provide us with a static banner (for the background). Then we can superimpose the "Skype's ON/OFF/AWAY/DON'T DISTURB etc" Status at our server before sending out to .tel page requests.

Right now we do not want to shoulder an additional burden as we already provide TELcp services at telcp.com free of charge.

By the way, have you already checked this particular service (Skype status) at TELcp?
Without doing so it is hard for others to guess what is happening there.

Cheers!

The other best option is either Telnic allows third party customized icons (not very practical though, in terms of quick turn around of serving such icons from an external server/s) or they provide dynamic icons. Dynamic icons can be designed to display functionality similar to that of Skype's Status button.
