VoiceCloud.com - Voicemail to Text

So smartphones are really big and have consequently spawned a million types, kinds and clones. Yet for all that, there hasn’t been one super phone that does everything. The iPhone comes close, but it’s not perfect. It can’t for instance, offer your voicemail as a text message in real time. Luckily, advances are being made, advances like VoiceCloud. VoiceCloud is a new company with proprietary technology that does just that—direct voice to text transcription. So when you’re in a pinch and can’t contact the all important person who would solve it all but is conveniently MIA, VoiceCloud will make sure that that person gets a human transcribed text of your urgency. VoiceCloud is currently offering a free month trial before a pay scheme kicks in. All major carriers are supported.

“VoiceCloud is the premier provider of true, next-generation, real-time voice-to-text transcription services.
VoiceCloud's cost-effective solution is based on patented streaming audio technology and offers users anytime, anywhere, instantaneous audio and voice transcription.”

This is an ingenious bit of technology. It revolutionizes voicemail, allowing users to keyword search voicemail, store it without limits, and it’ll even have a special interface for the iPhone.

Because human transcribers are used, will potential users be leery about the service? Will the price be right? Can it handle a large volume of calls?
