SpinVox prepares the VoIP blogging

Some times ago, we talked about SpinVox, a UK-based company that provides voice-to-text conversion to let you for example dictate your email while driving your car or check your missed called by reading them. Many other examples exist, and among them, Business Week’s columnist Bruno Giussani hints on voice blogging.
“The idea, really, goes beyond voicemail-to-text. ‘It’s about voice-to-screen in any application,’ says Domecq. SpinVox is working on expanding the concept to blogging by voice, for example.”
And it could be a useful and multi-media features, as SpinVox claimed its voice-to-text to work on any handset or network regardless of the technology used. That includes mobile phone, fixed line, VoIP, IMS. Journalists might dictate their papers in an open WiFi hotspot with a Skype phone for instance.
But SpinVox should sneak into another huge market. 2007 is going to be the year of IPTV, and companies are rolling out the first podcast indexing service. SpinVox should extend their service to convert podcast into text. Google would then index them easily. And hypothetically, there’s nothing different between converting a voicemail and a podcast. So 2007 may also be the year of SpinVox.
