GotVoice Premium
Read your voicemail as a text message.
Summary
GotVoice Premium transcribes voicemails to text or MP3 attachments and sends them to your email and/or mobile phones. Since the caller’s number is prominently displayed, it allows the user to immediately scroll to important messages for viewing/listening. For cell phone users, viewing a message in text saves on call minutes, and makes it possible to view voice messages during typically inconvenient times like meetings. For the home user, message retrieval will be greatly simplified. Many home-systems replay messages from the oldest to the newest, making retrieval of recently-saved messages a real challenge. With GotVoice Premium, the date, time and caller ID is prominently displayed, so that locating any message is a snap.
To make things even easier, GotVoice has the ability to create folders and subfolders for filing purposes. Sorting becomes a cinch and even the oldest voicemail is retrievable. In addition, you can forward messages to third parties or save them to PC files. Even more innovative is “GotVoice Compose.” This message virtual-assistant helps you send one voice message to an entire group of people. For instance, soccer practice was cancelled due to inclement weather. Letting all the parents know would be as simple as recording a single voicemail and routing it to everyone in the soccer team folder. Also attractive is the “silent ring” feature, a service that allows you to leave someone a message without actually ringing their phone.
GotVoice allows you complete control over your contact list and filing system, and has an easy user interface that tutors you in all the aforementioned receipt-and-delivery methods. Another attractive offering is the ability to create unique greetings with sound-enhanced backgrounds for either incoming or outgoing messages.
