Hey, I was working on a project similar to that a while ago that interfaced with google voice! However Google voices api was deprecated and my project never really got any further. Here's a link to the git hub repo https://github.com/janbro/J.A.R.V.I.S

Edit: Scratch that, my project was nothing like their's, my JARVIS was meant to be a fully autonomous sms personal assistant. Apparently this is a service which assigns you two human people you text for things who are "aided" by artificial intelligence and futuristic tech, whatever that implies. Their FAQ page says a bit more about the service, although not enough for me to want to subscribe to it



Are you aware of any other services that can be used to integrate a bot with real time text message communications?


Yep, check out the Cyman Digital Butler for Android. With the paid version, when you get an incoming text you can set it so he reads out who sent it, then you can say "read message", or "reply" and then your reply. You can also initiate messages, and there are helpful features to help with complex names. Like if you said "my wife is called ...". You could then later say "send a text to my wife". I worked pretty hard on it!


If your asking if their's another service like Google voice, I'm not sure. I haven't done much more digging on text message bot integration, although you could make an irc bot which would operate on the same principle, just not through text, and not as private.


Not sure whether this will meet your need but i found voxeo[0] pretty good for voice related stuff. I had to discontinue my product idea due to the fact that they don't have instantaneous voice to text which was bummer for my project [0] www.voxeo.com
