Voice to Text: Voice Recognition Software Helps Businesses

Voice recognition software resulting in voice to text transcription is becoming one of the more useful technology tools available to businesses of all sizes today. Reading your voicemail is quickly becoming the "gotta have" feature for cell phones, BlackBerrys®, Treos™ and laptops. Although they had not been made useful for business applications, voice recognition and voice to text technology has been around for sometime. Recently, however, by applying advanced voice recognition software and high-level algorithms to telephone messages, extremely accurate voice to text transcription has made reading voicemail possible.

How TalkText™ Works

When a TalkText™ subscriber receives a message, it is sent through the voice recognition process and a text version of the message is generated. That message is then sent to the subscriber as an email, or just as a text message. Attached is an audio file of the recorded voicemail. The entire voice to text process takes between 2-5 minutes, depending on the length of the message.

Benefits of TalkText™ To Small Business

Increase productivity by having the option to read voicemail messages, instead of just listening. Here are a few examples of how voice recognition technology can increase productivity:

• You have an important presentation and are waiting for a call from the office with information you need. You get lots of voicemail messages and instead of burning an hour listening to each and every one, you scan the voice to text content with your handheld and find just the message you need.
• Because you now can read your voicemail messages, you will never again have to sit through idle chit-chat to get to the critical ones.
• TalkText™ allows you to read your voicemail messages on a BlackBerry®, Treo™, most cell phones, laptops and desk computers.
• No need to take notes from your voicemail because, thanks to advanced voice recognition algorithms, your messages are text files which can be sorted, cut, pasted, forwarded and printed. And you can use common search tools to look for specific content. Because of voice to text technology, you have a virtual secretary. Dictate emails, leave messages and send yourself memos which you can then file or forward.
• Copy phone numbers right into your address book (computer or phone).
• You can save important messages for later use because you get the audio file attachment of voicemail messages emailed to you.
