PhoneBlogger is a tool for publishing to a blog via a phone call.

PhoneBlogger is an automated voice application that first asks you for info about which pre-configured blog you wish to post to. After collecting the necessary information, PhoneBlogger records your audio message. Finally, it posts a blog entry that links to the recorded audio.

In a little more technical detail, PhoneBlogger is a VoiceXML application. It uses speech recognition and text to speech to collect information from you over the phone concerning the blog to which you want to post. A couple Python CGI scripts and some other programs are used to save the audio and convert it to an audio file format that can be easily played in a web browser. An XML-RPC call is used to post a blog entry linking to the audio file. Additional technical info is here.
