12th August 2005 - UK based telecoms messaging specialist
MyJotter.com today announced the launch of its new voice-to-text
solution. The service, available now to UK mobile users, enables
callers to dictate voicemail messages which are then transcribed
to text by a team of professional audio typists and sent to
the destination of the caller’s choice - either via SMS
or email - 24 hours per day.
“In a few moments MyJotter literally turns talk into
text,” confirms David Cosserat, CEO, MyJotter. “This
is invaluable if you need to write a note or draft a document,
for example between meetings, while in an airport, or when
driving.”
Callers use a dedicated MyJotter premium rate telephone number
to relay anything from a short memo to a full sales call report.
Transcribed text can then either be sent to a colleague or
friend or back to the caller’s own email address for
further editing later.
“One of the great benefits of the service is that is
allows people to make use of down-time so cost effectively,”
continues Cosserat. “It takes very little time to leave
a voicemail and so a message that takes 10 seconds to dictate
would cost just 17p – not to mention the time saved typing!”
Registration to the service is easy and free on www.myjotter.com.
In addition, the website allows users to import colleagues’
and friends’ email and phone details so messages can
be sent to a chosen recipient by simply stating the contact’s
name and delivery method (SMS or email) at the start of the
voicemail. By default, if recipient details are not supplied,
the transcribed text will be emailed to the caller’s
own email address.
In addition to the UK premium rate billing model MyJotter
offers per-transcribed-word monthly billing to corporates
based in the UK, US and Canada. MyJotter plans to introduce
further, pre-paid account facilities later this year that
will then be progressively rolled out to additional countries
around the world.
“Although the concept of voice-to-text is not new,”
concludes Cosserat, “we believe the take-up for mainstream
use of such a service will be substantial. In a world when
every second is becoming more precious, to be able take advantage
of down-time in such an effective way is a particularly compelling
proposition.”
