Tellme Networks’ 7 new consumer voice applications were created by independent VoiceXML developers as part of the Skype Voice Services Program and were developed using Tellme Studio, Tellme’s VoiceXML developer resource.

In this case, Skype will provide IP transport and Tellme will provide the VoiceXML browser to reach the application.

These new Consumer Voice Services have gone live on Tellme’s network already and can accessed at the Skype Developer Zone here.

Highlights from the services:

SoundSlam which is based on the concept of slam poetry where anyone can record a piece of music, a poem or any audio recording and the community votes on how good it is:

1. World Time gives the current time for any country.
2. Numerology offers daily, monthly and yearly readings.
3. Ringfo gets you the best prices on products available on Amazon.com.
4. OmniScopes are daily new age well-being messages.
5. NotMyNumber places a call to get you out of situations when you need an excuse to leave.
6. Body Mass Index calculates a caller’s body mass index and gives personalized health information based on their input.

Rich Tehrani writes about the CNBC prediction of Google buying voice portal pioneer Tellme. Google hopes to be substantially benefited from the deal as Tellme has a cool subscriber-base. Also, by integrating its services with Tellme telephone, it will enable users to use Google services can as easily as in the web.

Besides, as Rich found out on his visit to Tellme office, the work cultures of both Google and Tellme seemed to be complimentary to each other. No hostile feelings here then. *heh*
