VoxOx (News - Alert), a provider of a free consumer service that unifies all key communication channels - voice, text, chat, video, social media, e-mail, fax and content sharing - into a single user interface, has launched outbound faxing and SMS language translation within its free mobile app, VoxOx Call for iPhone (News - Alert).
Officials with Telcentris said that with the new version of this app, iOS users will be able to leverage the camera on their iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to photograph documents and fax them for just pennies, no monthly subscription required.
Moreover, company officials said that App users can also receive faxes free of charge to their own dedicated phone number that they receive upon sign-up for the free app.
VoxOx boasts the only free phone number that is two-way voice, SMS and fax-enabled, plus comes with voicemail transcription.
Company officials pointed out that also new to the mobile app is the free SMS translation feature, which enables 2-way, real-time language translation for 36 languages.
VoxOx Call for iPhone works seamlessly with the full-featured VoxOx desktop software for added functionality and savings.
"While faxing may seem like a blast from the past, there are still entire industries that rely on this form of communication, such as real estate, insurance, law, finance, and construction," said Bryan Hertz, CEO of Telcentris, creators of VoxOx, in a statement.
"Even for those who don't fax regularly, there's always that one time when you do need it and have to jump through hoops to find a solution. We felt that enabling consumers to take care of these needs with a simple, free app would go a long way," said Hertz.
VoxOx's faxing functionality originated within its free desktop software application, which unifies all popular forms of communication into a single interface. The features included in the VoxOx Call app, largely telephony functions, work seamlessly with the full-featured desktop software in order to provide users with a broader unified communications experience.
