10 ways to stop listening to voice mails

Voicemails get obsolete. In his column entitled “Freedom for prisoners of voicemails“, David Pogue stressed the rise of voicemail speech-to-text converters. Indeed, there’s the SpinVox service, effective in the UK and Europe and available in the US. But there also is the SimulScribe, which transcribe voice mail messages into emails.
It’s too bad there are only those two ones which take advantage of the voice recognition technologies. Besides them, other services like GotVoice store voice messages into MP3 and forward them to your email box.
Pogue also listed ten good reasons to try those services. Among them, we like this little one: “You can check your messages even if you’re deaf — or temporarily so, because you’re in the subway or at a rock concert.”
But as not anybody is concerned by this problem, the most useful one would be the derived way to use those services: “You can do “typing” for work when you’re on the run. That is, you can leave messages for yourself, dictating e-mail, ideas or whatever, thus turning the service into a virtual secretary.” A function that SpinVox intends to push harder into as the company is pioneering in the VoIP blogging.
