Evoca
By Juergen Liebherr

The Idea.
Who wants to be heard should have the privilege to do so without effort, even on the Internet. At least the makers of Evoca think that way, and created their port which carries the same name. Whether for diary authors, journalists or amateur singers, Evoca provides an audience to everyone. Another possibility for online voice clips are blogs, which can be enhanced that way.

The Product.
After opening your account, you can record your message via mp3 or microphone. After you've registered, you can also call Evoca and get your voice message digitized by dialing 030 / 896 779 338. Skype phone calls can be recorded directly. Afterwards the audio files can be administered, edited and published. The free account offers 15 minutes of recording time. After that, if you require more recording space, you will pay accordingly.

Interview with Murem Sharpe (Director of Evoca)

Mrs. Sharpe, what was your motivation to create a platform like Evoca?
One the one hand, there are the democratic movements created by the Internet, on the other hand there is the omnipresence of the cell phone. What motivated us, was the strength of the verbal expression, the power of language.
With your product, do you want to form a community or a new means of communication?
The market will decide that. As a community, Evoca is open to everyone. Some members will record on a regular basis and use their profile as a homepage. Others will post their recordings on blogs and websites. As a new way of communication, Evoca enables all human beings to send their voice messages around the world by connecting and optimizing the possibilities of normal phone calls, VclP and the Internet with one another.
Is the spoken word not a step back in the development of fast and modern communication?
On the contrary - it is a step forward! Evoca enables the most simple and hazardless form of communication.
Do you believe Evoca to be as successful as a Flickr?
Yes, indeed. Not only does Evoca help with the administration and publication of files, just like Flickr does it with photos. Evoca carries additional innovative tools like Evoca Tell (telephone service) and Evoca Mic (a recorder integrated in the browser). We see ourselves as the engine of the creation of new contents.

Come together! There are already 10,000 voice recordings in all languages on www.evoca.com.
