Clarify + Twilio = 😻

Using MoveApp, your moves will be so easy! Never lose your potato masher again!

Here is how it works:

1. Label all your boxes 1, 2, 3 ...
2. Call your Twilio number
3. When you're packing a box, type in the number of the box and press pound.
4. As you're putting things in the box, say what it is.

When you are unpacking, or looking for some cups to have wine after you're done moving: simply send MoveApp a text message with "wine glasses" and it'll tell you what box to look in. Simple!

Example:

• You dial MoveApp

• MoveApp Prompts for your box number.

• You dial 14 and presses pound

• MoveApp Starts recording (wait for the beep!)

• You say Potato masher, wine glasses, Shrunken head, wire cutters, dog food.

• You hang up

  Lots of moving activity in which Clarify is analyzing your audio. This can take up to about a minute of processing time per minute of audio.

• You "I need a drink!"

• You text MoveApp "wine glasses"

• MoveApp 'We found "wine glasses" in #14.'

Easy!

Technical workflow

Setup

1. Get a Clarify.io account from the Clarify DevPortal, create an application, and get an API key.
2. Deploy the application somewhere... maybe heroku
3. In the config.php set the API key in $config['clarify']['api_key']. If you're using Docker or Heroku or something similar, you can simply set the environment variable CLARIFY_API_KEY to your key.
4. Create a Twilio account and get a telephone number, like it says in the Twilio quickstart. Set that telephone number's Voice Request URL to http://example.com/moveapp/start.php and the SMS Request URL to http://example.com/moveapp/search.php.
5. Call your number and go to town! Note: This will search all the media in your Clarify Account.
