Now, it seems the ‘automatic’ voice transcribing into SMS is not so automatic. Companies pass our voice messages to outsourced personnel in South Africa and they actually hear and type the SMS. Where is the confidentiality of all this? One of the outsourced employees was clear enough: “the machines (for automatic voice transcription) do not understand nothing, we need to start typing when the voice message starts”. I think WebWorker Daily’s reporters should investigate which other companies use acutally human beings to make ‘automatic’ transcription. This could be a major security breach for private and corporate clients that use those ‘automatic’ transcription systems.

Have a look at Spinvox too. Not only will they transcribe your voicemail, but you can also dictate blog posts by phone! Now there’s a neat trick.

Keith, you’ll find a “request invite” link on the https://www.dial2do.com/login page. It took about a week after I put my info in there until I got an invite…and I didn’t pull any strings (I don’t use my WWD identity when I ask for these things). No guarantee that they’re still responding so quickly, but at least a week ago they didn’t have a huge backlog.

Unfortunately in private beta – and no hint of an invitation code in this post!
