Try Skype-to-Blog via the Speak-a-Blog Blog
- Skype:speakablogblog
- Speak your message in a voice mail
- Hang up
- Go to Simon Crowfoot's LiveJournal blog
- See how SpinVox converted your voice to text and posted it
What do you think?
- Should Skype build this as a feature into the clients? Yes, especially Skype for Business.
- Would you pay, say an extra euro a year for a voice-mail-to-text service that sends the text to you via blog, email, RSS feed, IRC, and/or SMS? Yes. Until everyone else includes it for free.
- Right now it is just for English and works best with UK standard; what spoken languages would you like? The 10 most common flavors of Chinese, Estonian, the several Spanish and Portuguese, Hindi, Hebrew, Arabic.
- Once in text form, languages I don't speak could be run through a translation machine.
Could be huge for asocial eBay sellers. Or anyone else in business who values a missed a call.

I couldnt agree more. Spinvox's technology truly speeds up how fast we can communicate. I use them for my voicemail and love it. It looks like you can also try the speak a blog out on their new website. Cool!!!
