Evoca Announces Voice Recorder Plugin for WordPress Users to Invite Online Visitors’ Comments

Users of WordPress Version 2.7 and above can get Evoca’s plugin to easily add online recorder widgets to websites and blogs to invite their customers, fans, and supporters to record comments, opinions, stories, and language practice sessions.

“Our mission is to increase our subscribers’ ROI or ‘Return on Interaction’ by engaging online visitors through audio commenting. With the growing popularity of WordPress.org as a leading web publishing platform, the Evoca team is keeping pace with the WordPress community’s interests in plugins like our Evoca Browser Mic”, commented Murem Sharpe, Evoca CEO. “Evoca’s Browser Mic attracts fresh, compelling user-generated content every day. The genius of WordPress is that it combines the dynamic content of a blog with the static content of a traditional website.”

In addition to releasing the Browser Mic plugin available for WordPress version 2.7 and above, Evoca offers plugins for WordPress 2.6 and below, TypePad, Blogger, Drupal, and a generic plugin that will work on all sites that allow copy/paste HTML and enable Flash objects. Recorders can be embedded on more than one page or site to invite comments about different topics. Recordings made with a Browser Mic are instantly saved to the Evoca Express subscriber’s account and can be streamed on any website, blog, and social media profile to share with the world or kept private to share with a customer service team. Evoca sends the subscriber an email message each time a new voice comment is created and saved to their Evoca Express account.

“Because it’s our job to create strategies and design for effective web communication, we have embraced WordPress as a web development platform for its agility and easy integration with other popular applications”, remarked Jonathan Nery, CEO of the Kloupgroup, a consultancy founded in Sweden, now based in Savannah, that specializes in social media application design, enterprise software, and mobile content and delivery. “Evoca’s WordPress recorder plugin is a terrific tool to help companies connect with their customers. Using actual voices to deliver customer testimonials, supporters’ opinions, and fans’ enthusiasm makes the online experience genuine and believable”.
