BlackBerry users can now turn their voicemails into text and have them emailed direct to their handset after voice-to-text company SpinVox launched a plug-in for Blackberry.
SpinVox https://www.spinvox.com/voicemail-page.html is a British technology company, notable for being the first such company in the world to convert voicemails to text messages for both landlines, IP telephony and mobile telephones.
Users who download the application — and pay �5 per year — will have voicemails sent as a text email to their BlackBerry inbox. Nerdy cool being able to reply by email including a copy in text of their voicemail
On receiving the converted, text version of the voicemail, users have the option to reply by email, in addition to voice or SMS. The emails link up to the user's address book so the caller's name is displayed.
Importantly, SpinVox for BlackBerry ensures that the inbound caller's number links up with the user's address book to present the caller's name, and the ability to reply directly by email, as an alternative to calling or sending an SMS.
"BlackBerry email delivers business efficiency and personal productivity," says Christina Domecq, CEO and co-founder, SpinVox. "Adding SpinVox to the mix takes those benefits to the next level, eliminating the need to dial-in and check voicemail and making it simple and easy to check voice messages in the email format that BlackBerry addicts love."
The launch comes after RIM executives trialled the SpinVox Voicemail product on their own BlackBerry phones and immediately saw the benefits of receiving their voice messages converted to email.
SpinVox Voicemail for BlackBerry is a bit special. Download our plug-in software and not only will you get your voicemails as emails within minutes but you can also see who’s left you the message. Then you have a choice – email or call them back, up to you.
