Skype Users Have New Feature Available - Voicemail to Text
Skype users can have their voice mail messages delivered to their e-mail and SMS addresses starting Monday through a voice-mail-to-text service offered by SimulScribe. Utilizing its proprietary voice-recognition algorithms that transcribe voice mail to text, the service works with wireless, networked, and voice-over-IP services, SimulScribe says, adding that the feature typically can save a user three hours a month in wasted time that would be spent listening to voice mail.
"Carriers are already set up to provide" the service, says David Gerzof, SimulScribe's chief marketing officer. "We don't need to do deals with carriers." Gerzof cites a typical application in which a businessperson attending a meeting couldn't answer a phone, but would be able to read incoming calls via e-mail or SMS without interrupting the meeting.
