Line1 offers another voice to text service

If the past couple of years have proven anything, it’s that automated voice-to-text conversion services are generally, well, pretty awful. Spitting in the face of history, Line1 has decided to enter the market with a service that promises to deliver your voicemail to your email inbox, all in a matter of heart-wrenching seconds. Simply named SpinVox, this service sounds too good to be true. To be fair, they’re marketing this service towards professionals who work in noisy environments, yet need immediate access to their voice messages, such as stock brokers and public policy officials. We could also see a potential application for the disabled and hard of hearing who may, for whatever reason, be unable to access a traditional voicemail box. For all the doubters and non-believers, Line1 is offering a free week of service to anyone inclined to take the plunge. Come on…you know you want to.
I don’t agree simulscribe worked like a charm for me
I hope I’m not being out of line by chiming in.
First, I’d like to thank you for the write up.
I’d also like to clarify that it is not only a great tool for folks in very noisy environments, but also those in quiet environments where answering phone calls or listening to voicemail is either rude or simply not allowed.
A quick glance at your screen and you know if there is something that needs your attention.
Thanks again for checking us out.

Heck yeah– this is a great idea. I could use this quite a bit being a sign language interpreter in classes and other professional environments where checking your voicemail isn’t quite “professional”. Definitely a great idea for deaf and hard of hearing. The pricing is pretty steep though, and there’s no unlimited plan.
Yeah I have been using Simulscribe for 3 days now & am truly addicted!!! I love not having to actually dial in to listen to my vm & the transcription is right on. Nothing has ever come across wrong.
Arhythmatik,
From what I’ve seen, when looking at the fine print, few ‘unlimited plans’ -like long distance calling etc.- are truly unlimited.
I hope you’ll give the free trial offer a go and determine if the ‘value’ outweighs the ‘price’.
