Say hi to Voice Services Program
Hi! We’re Skype Voice Services. [We just got announced today.](http://www.skype.com/company/news/2005/skype_voiceservices.html) We’re not available to users just yet — this is more of a call to you to start building us and getting ready to earn some revenue.
In a nutshell, Skype Voice Services Program lets you offer your services through Skype calls. They can be free to callers, or you can choose to charge any price you set. In case of chargeable services, the caller pays using his/her Skype Credit. For an example, try tellmeonskype.
]]> You can build any kind of Voice Services that is in line with our terms. Just some examples:
* computer helpline
* news service
* horoscope of the day
* voice auctioning
* sports score announcements
* international delivery tracking
* automatic translation and pronounciation
* Skype tips line
Just imagine if you are calling a remote foreign hotel where they don’t speak particularly good English. However, you know that you can find a translator for that language in the Skype Voice Services Directory, so you just conference her in using Skype’s Conference Call feature, and get your thing done. You may pay just a few cents for the call, but for the translator, it is a convenient way to earn a decent buck if she gets many calls like this.
We have partnered with industry leaders who provide us and you their cutting-edge Voice Services platform. You can do lots of cool things there, like build your service using IVR, menus, voice recognition and many other features. Check out [the Voice Services page on skype.com](http://www.skype.com/partners/voice/) for more details.
It is interesting to note that while chargeable calls are nothing new, they have usually been limited to specific countries and regions. In Skype Voice Services, there are no such restrictions, so this is one step closer to truly global communications and services and building a comprehensive Skype services ecosystem.
For more info, see [the page on skype.com](http://www.skype.com/partners/voice/) and the [Voice Services FAQ](http://support.skype.com/?_a=knowledgebase&_j=subcat&_i=35). You can expect more news as the project matures later this year.
This seems like an good idea. Espesially the thing with the translator
J’ai été touché sur le fait de m’apercevoir
Que le seul don que je pensais et qu’on me disais avoir
N’en n’est rien, et que beaucoup d’autres personnes
l’ont aussi et sont bien meilleures que moi, en sommes
J’ai un grand besoin d’exister au yeux des gens
Et j’aimerai qu’ils ne voient en moi rien de différent
Le silence de ma voix n’est pas forcément de la bouderie
Mais peut être mon coeur qui ne sais plus comment on sourie
