Skype now offers voicemail-to-text conversion for all Skype voicemail users. SpinVox converts voice messages to text in English, Spanish, French and German and the messages are then sent by Skype as an SMS text message directly to a designated mobile phone.
The intended use case for 'visible voicemail' is an on-the-go user away from a PC and using a phone not equipped with a data plan and smart phone to receive those messages directly on the mobile device.
Recipients of converted voice mail messages can listen to the full voice message by either signing into Skype or by calling their "Skype To Go" number. Skype users may choose instead to receive voicemail notification using SMS or for free by email.
"Skype is the first internet communications software provider to deploy SpinVox, further reinforcing our position as the only provider of voice to text messaging services which are used daily by millions of people on five continents," says SpinVox co-founder and CEO, Christina Domecq. "Our user base has grown over twenty-fold in the last 12 months and bringing Skype's voicemail subscribers on board will accelerate this trend."
