Launch lync chat from another mobile application - jquery-mobile

To resume, I am developing a web application with Jquery mobile and I have a list of people from the same enterprise. I was asked if by one click on a person, the application could launch a chat via lync.
I did some research and I found that : https://ucwa.lync.com/documentation/what-is-lync-ucwa-api.
That API allow use to use Lync by adding C# code into the application, but my problem is that I have only HTML / CSS / JS for this project.
I think the only way for me would be to launch chat on the mobile or webversion of Lync from my application, do you know if it possible ? I can find an answer.
Thanks for your futur advice !

if you only need IM and presence (i.e. no audio/video) then UCWA is ideal. It's a rest-based API, so there's no dependency on clients using C# to call it. As I remember, the documentation on the UCWA site is pretty good

I know it's late but, i've an experimental java api which can communicate with Lync 2013 UCWA. Here is the github page
You are welcome to fork it.

Using Services to create a Speech to Text Function with Vosk?

wanted to get some additional opinions on a project.
I'm attempting to create a system which will gather the dialog from a call commenced by Twilio Studio and transcribe it. I then intend to push the now transcribed dialog to my CRM.
I found a helpful article on speech to text with the use of Vosk; https://www.twilio.com/blog/transcribe-phone-calls-text-real-time-twilio-vosk - however, I think the article assumes that this will be done with the use of an external application. So, my question is; could this be possibly developed with the use of Twilio Services and leveraged within Studio?
If not, I could develop a web app to connect everything together, but would rather everything be housed within Twilio as I'm a novice developer and developing this app externally sounds like a rather over complex solution to this project.
Thanks in advance for your feedback!
Nothing attempted yet, still in the early research stage of this project.
As of now, Twilio does not offer its own Speech-to-Text engine. However, you can use media streams to forward the audio track to any engine out there on the internet.
This blog post uses Google's engine, for example.
The advantage of such a hosted service is that you neither need to worry about the model nor manage the server. If you want to do 100% serverless, then you could run the entire thing on Twilio Serverless.

React vs SignalR

I build web apps using ASP MVC and I am looking at using ReactJS. I have seen a few examples of React integrated into an ASP.NET MVC project and I don't really see the value over SignalR, which is what I use now for all real-time updates and communications.
I am hoping someone can go over the benefits of using React vs SignalR or even why I should be using React. Its popularity makes me think there is more to it that I'm just not seeing and I would hate to fall behind if it is more powerful and can help me do more.
Thank you for your responses!
React is used to build a single page apps or SPA, this will give you a desktop like UI, if you want it to be more interactive, then you can use it with SignalR to receive real time updates from the back end.
Facebook site alone is the idea of React, ex: responsive, no page refresh.
Integrating it with something like SignalR, adds the real time notifications about comments and posts
You should'nt compare apples and oranges.
React is a JS Library for building User Interfaces and SignalR is an abstraction, which will help you to send messages from server to client (also the other side).

JTAPI (Avaya) with MVC

I was wondering if somebody could answer my questions as I have not used JTAPI before.
I am working on a project where the requirement is to click a link on the MVC website and integrate the call to AVAYA phone (i.e. make phone call using handset via the website)
I have also looked at the Microsoft TAPI but looks like there is no integration with Avaya available with TAPI.
Does anybody know how can I use JTAPI with .Net MVC ? I was assuming it would be an API which I can call from my website but it looks more complicated then it sounds.
Please suggest :)
You may use Avaya DMCC. It has an implementation for .NET
But beware the Avaya licensing policy! DMCC may require extra licenses.
To use JTAPI from ASP.NET you have to use Java classes from .NET
Can you use Java libraries in a VB.net program?
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/13549/Using-Java-Classes-in-your-NET-Application
I would suggest create an Applet in JTAPI and then integrate in any webapplication whether php,.net I recently did the same thing for my PHP web application.
As #Krishna said with an Applet you could designe your soluciĆ³n, designe that i used to do... Buut now and Day Applets have less support over browsers and they have be come a problem than a solution. The way that i found to solve this issue was use HTML5 with Websocket. In this way i create a Windows Service or daemon (for Linux) to handle JTapi session and create a websocket server Layer, and implement the websocket to create the view int he Asp.net view.
Avaya AES does expose a basic web api providing some basic functionalities which you can call directly from your MVC application, but if you need something more advance, then arguably the best solution would be to build a small Java servlet which you will host on something like Tomcat or JBoss which will expose a SOAP or REST API, which you can call from your MVC app.

way2sms API for rails application

I am trying a sample application for sending sms from rails application ( from pc to mobile). Are there any tutorials for using api's like that of "way2sms" website ? And any suggestion of getting the same api?
I referred this site http://codeglobe.blogspot.com/2009/07/way2sms-api.html
Thanks!
Sending SMS is usually not FREE. At least not when you want to use an API for it. It also varies depending on your demographic. Are you inside US only? If so there is also Moonshado which is used as Addon in Heroku, sounds good, but not free as well.

How can I integrate "chat" into an ASP.NET MVC site?

I'd like to integrate chat into my site and am open to a solution like this site's, but am open to others if they exist.
What chat sites do you know of that can integrate into an MVC site?
I have used both the WebSync JavaScript and Silverlight API's.
In your case you could use the JavaScript API from an MVC app.
Creating chat with WebSync is really easy and works very well. WebSync is a highly scalable HTTP Comet/Reverse Ajax server. They even offer a offer a hosted service. It has a cost if you need to support more than 10 concurrent users.
Here's one project on CodePlex you might take a look at.
