Spinvox launches VoxLinks - Talk a Text Service

SpinVox, the leader in voice to content messaging, is launching VoxLinks, a new visible feature which will give one-click access to a range of messaging services and extend the SpinVox experience to millions more.

SpinVox subscribers who receive a voicemail message converted to text can now talk-a-text reply back to the person who left them a message, even if the original caller is not a SpinVox subscriber.

SpinVox converted voicemails will have two VoxLinks at the bottom of the SMS message. To speak a reply, all users need to do is click on the 'Reply' VoxLink. When the recipient receives the spoken text message, they too will be given the option of clicking on a 'Reply' Voxlink to speak a text response - enabling a continuous conversation through an efficient, quick and simple messaging path. If, for any reason, the recipient wishes to listen to their voicemail messages, all they need to do is click on the second VoxLink labelled 'Listen' to hear the audio instantly, eradicating the lengthy process of having to dial into voicemail.

Once messages are received as text it allows the information to be stored, forwarded or edited, eliminating the need to find a pen and paper to write down the information. VoxLinks is integrated into the converted message so there is nothing to download. SpinVox plans to introduce new VoxLinks features and services in the coming months to continue to enhance the user experience. People speaking a text reply via SpinVox VoxLinks will pay their standard call charge. There will be no additional charge for the convenience of the voice to text conversion by SpinVox.

The new service, which is being launched initially to the SpinVox subscriber base in Europe, will be a boon to millions of texters as it is rolled out around the globe during 2009.
