Google Voice Application for Windows

Google Voice is a great service that I really enjoy. It offers free texting, calling, and voicemail transcripts. As much as I love it, the only way that I know of to use the service is through a web browser, which for me is very inconvenient. So, I tried searching for an application that would allow me to log into Google Voice without having to use my web browser and, what I came up with was… nothing. Apparently, not many people are actually interested in a Google Voice application, so of course, I had to make one myself.

Armed with only a copy of Microsoft Visual Studio 2008, I made the program within about 20 minutes. The program itself is written on Visual Basic .NET and was pretty simple to make. I won’t give you the source code but, I’ll give you a basic idea of how it’s done. I made a web browser in Visual Basic that does not navigate to any pages besides the Google Voice Mobile site (I used the mobile site to make it fit into a small window.) I then made the buttons link to pages on the site. I’m planning on implementing some more services into the program such as Gizmo5.

Well, this is the first build of my application and I hope you enjoy it. Download the file HERE. If you have any comments or suggestions please feel free to email me at: fruitpunch36@techreevu.com
