SimulScribe Launches Voicemail-To-Text & Visual Voicemail Service in Canada
By Anshu Shrivastava, TMCnet Contributing Editor
SimulScribe ( News - Alert), a provider of voicemail-to-text services and visual voicemail applications, has announced the launch of its award winning voicemail-to-text service in Canada.
The award winning service converts voicemail to text and delivers it through e-mail and SMS as well as allows automatic voicemail transcriptions to be delivered with the caller's phone number in the e-mail subject line. The email includes the transcribed voice message in the body and an attached audio file of the original message. In addition, users can unify all phone numbers for automatic transcription and delivery without changing any phone numbers.
Company officials note that SimulScribe's service works with all major Canadian carriers and is free until January 15, 2008.
SimulScribe's Canadian service is expected to enable users to unify all of their phone lines; mobile, home, work to one unlimited voicemail box.
According to the company, SimulScribe is the only company in Canada offering full transcription of voicemail as well as delivery through email, a critical feature for the vast majority of BlackBerry ( News - Alert) users.
“We are excited to finally roll out SimulScribe to all major Canadian carriers, giving more people and businesses access to voicemail-to-text services in Canada than any other company,” James Siminoff ( News - Alert), founder and CEO of SimulScribe, said in a press release.
SimulScribe’s Canadian service works with over 95 percent of Canada's carriers- including Bell Canada ( News - Alert), Telus and Rogers—and office phone systems, allowing customers to read voicemail instead of having to dial in and listen to it.
Recently, SimulScribe was rated as having the highest transcription quality by Information Week. Since launching its commercial service in January 2007, SimulScribe has reportedly received numerous awards: two coveted Four Star Ratings from PC Magazine, The Business 2.0 Next Net 25 Award and Laptop Magazine's Mobile Mavericks Award.
