SpinVox powers first Skype voicemail to text

SpinVox converts voice messages to text in English, Spanish, French and German.

The messages are then sent by Skype as an SMS text directly to a mobile phone for users to read.

Recipients of converted voicemail messages can listen to the full voice message by either signing into Skype or by calling their Skype To Go number. 

Customers can also receive voicemail notification via SMS or for free by email.

Users have a choice to set a limit on the number of voicemail conversions received per day and to receive messages from people only in their contact list to help them manage their credit.  

"Using SpinVox gives our users added flexibility and convenience over their Skype voicemails, said Mike Bartlett, director of product strategy at Skype.

"As people continue to spend more time on the move and on their mobile devices, people want to take their Skype conversations with them. 

"SpinVox is a great option for our users to save time on checking their Skype voicemail and receive messages immediately sent to their mobile phone," he added.

Skype users can set up voicemail to text from their account page, by registering a mobile phone number.  

Each voicemail to text conversion will cost AUD$0.39 plus the cost of sending an SMS.

Additional SMS charges - a maximum of 3 - may apply depending on the length of the voicemail message.
