Our Story

Evoca says that “Everyone’s voice counts”

Evoca is the perfect tool for journalists, educators, students, marketers, advocates, candidates, writers, researchers, storytellers, genealogists, business people, and more.  Try it free for 30 days or sign up for a Pro, Local, or Toll-free subscription to start creating recordings of any length and keep it private or share it with the world.

We started Evoca in Barcelona, built it in Savannah, and launched in 2006 as a voice-to-web subscription service to make it easy to record and publish anyone’s voice using mobile, landline and smartphones, tablets and computers. From the start, we introduced better and faster ways to create valuable audio content from solo voice recordings, interviews, conference calls, Skype calls, and record directly from an online recorder used with any computer microphone. We went on to offer online record plugins for popular blog and web software such as WordPress, Drupal, Blogger, and TypePad. On the publishing side, streaming voice is one of our strengths. Posting MP3 recordings for playback through player widgets on blogs and websites was an early feature that we have expanded to posting to Facebook and Twitter.

Our second platform, Evoca Enterprise™, is our enterprise-class multimedia software platform [SaaS/software-as-a-service] that integrates many of the same voice recording, management, and publishing features – and more – with the added benefit of being completely “brandable” and highly scalable. It is an ideal option for companies and other web services to integrate useful Evoca features using our flexible application programming interface [RESTful HTTP API.] Hear more of our story from the Two-Side Brain video interview of our founder.

All of your recordings are securely stored in our proprietary application that instantly converts all recordings into MP3 format. Customers, followers, and fans can playback from any smartphone, tablet or web browser since we auto-detect browsers to stream using Flash, iFrame, or HTML audio tags.

We are a global company, as a web service that uses “the cloud” for recording creation, storage, and streaming. We are the fourth Company Member of the Global Network Initiative, supporting its work in the advancement and protection of freedom of expression and privacy in the ICT [information and communications technology] industry.

Of course we have a home base — it is Savannah, Georgia — the beautiful, historic port city founded in 1733 by General James Ogelthorpe as a Utopian colony. There was religious tolerance and no slavery at its founding. Leaping to Savannah today, it manages to be both a charming, small Southern city and a sophisticated magnet for people with interests in technology, the creative and performing arts, public affairs and public service, and commerce. Thanks to the Savannah College of Art and Design and the area’s state colleges and universities, there are 40,000 students here, keeping everyone young-at-heart. At our home base Evoca is a proud member company of the Georgia Tech Advanced Development Center and The Creative Coast, two initiatives to support entrepreneurs in Georgia and the Savannah area.
