We recently published the final two PHP SMS Quickstart Screencasts in our Twilio SMS Quickstart series, and now it’s time to get started with Twilio Voice. These two new screencasts kick off our Voice Quickstart series, providing an easy, visual way to build Voice applications using Twilio.
In this first Voice Quickstart Screencast, you will learn how to a message, which gives you access to a powerful text-to-speech engine that can be used for notifications or saying dynamic text that you cannot pre-record.
In the second Voice Quickstart Screencast, you will learn how to Greet a Caller By Name which allows you to take a step further and generate dynamic speech based on a variable.
If you are new to Twilio, I recommend watching the first screencast to familiarize yourself with the basics of purchasing a phone number and replying to an SMS message via TwiML.
