Eleven for Skype: now do not need to record anything

In the pursuit of new alternative methods of controlling equipment (touch screens, motion sensors, emotion recognition), we somehow forgot about such a natural tool for a person as a voice. And if we have not yet reached the point of habitually giving voice commands to our devices, now we can easily dictate task lists for our own work.

For some reason, we do not have the strength to do everything right away, but we find them so that we can redo everything


We, freelancers, often speak on Skype, but due to the heavy workload of the brain, after a conversation, no more than three things remain in memory. And we do not want to spend time on empty talk, and even more so on doing unnecessary work. It is very disappointing to find that time and effort is spent on tasks whose results are useless. During this time you could do really profitable things! To solve this problem, we created Eleven, a real-time speech recognition service.

By the birth of the service led a simple idea to record conversations


When discussing the development plan, we stumbled upon the same rake: we did not what the customer wanted from us. And as we understood, this is not only our problem. An ordinary person can freely operate in memory with only three elements, and everything else is forgotten. On the small details you can not think at all.
At first we used a voice recorder, and then we listened to the tape every time it was impossible to remember any detail. Then they got the hang of recording the whole conversation in a notebook, and then trying to sort through these half-lights. You could still call back and clarify. And to clarify every step so. But we realized that the most convenient way to take notes during a conversation is to use your voice.

It's simple!


From a technical point of view, everything is very simple: we cut your voice and send it to the server via HTTP. Back we get the answer and save it in the cloud. The plugin itself connects to Skype and tracks the beginning and end of the conversation.



We made Eleven because we needed it ourselves.


The Eleven service was created for freelancers, journalists, lawyers, businessmen - people whose activities are related to communication. The plugin processes the voice conversation and sends it to the user in text form in real time. The dialogue comes in the form of familiar blocks: this is what you say, but the words of your interlocutor.

Eleven is now a plug-in for Skype, but in the future it will keep shorthand for many platforms. The plugin records only the user's voice, the interlocutor, we do not intend to record. When using the plug-in, the other party will be asked to install Eleven for maintaining a holistic dialogue.



The service was launched in March 2013.

The latest version of Eleven can be downloaded from our elevenapp.com website .

Oh, by the way, why Eleven. You probably saw a movie with an elevator?
