Drupal contributions

Terravoz has invented, developed and actively maintains VoIP Drupal (https://www.drupal.org/project/voipdrupal), a versatile open source communication toolkit that adds the power of voice and Internet-telephony to Drupal web sites. It can be used to build hybrid applications that combine regular touchtone phones, the Web, SMS, and other channels in a variety of ways, facilitating community outreach and providing an online presence even to those who are technically challenged, or who do not have regular access to computers.

VoIP Drupal comes with an extensive collection of ready-made modules that provide voicemail, click-to-call, phone recording, audio blogging, dialplan scripting and other high-level functionality, dramatically simplifying application development. VoIP Drupal's plug-and-play API currently works with the KooKoo, Plivo, Tropo and Twilio services. Sample code and a sandbox to help developers play with the different aspects of the platform may be found at http://voipdrupal.org/
