FreedomVOICE Systems Launches TalkText

Encinitas, CA…FreedomVOICE Systems (FVS), a leading provider of a wide array of integrated virtual office tools, announces the launch of TalkText, a service that uses advanced technology to convert voicemail messages to email. Powered by SimulScribe™, TalkText allows people to read their telephone messages in locations where listening to voicemail would be inappropriate.

“FreedomVOICE Systems is the first virtual office service provider to offer an integrated voice to text solution,” said FreedomVOICE Systems Founder and CEO Eric Thomas. “TalkText is ideal for mobile professionals who can view their phone messages on their Blackberry, laptop or cell phone. We’ve all been in meetings, on a conference call or attending other functions where listening to voicemail would be frowned upon. Now people can read their voicemail messages and take a course of action. It makes their time much more productive.”

FreedomVOICE Systems officials said they selected New York City-based SimulScribe because of its unique capabilities and cutting edge technology. TalkText employs high-level voice recognition software and advanced proprietary algorithms, developed by SimulScribe, to convert voice messages to email. According to company officials, the average turn-around time is about two to five minutes, depending on the length of the message.

FreedomVOICE Systems’ research suggests some professionals spend many hours every week listening to voicemail.

“Attorneys, salesmen and many others receive a large volume of messages which they then must listen to and sort through,” said Thomas. “With TalkText, they can scan the content of their messages and even use text searching tools like Google. Whether they are in a meeting, traveling or on the golf course, they can instantly see who called and what was said. And, they won't have to listen to all of their messages to find out about an important missed call.”

Company officials said TalkText in a natural add-on to FreedomVOICE Systems’ virtual office tools which already deliver fax, voice and email to the user’s designated Internet location.

“Now, they’ll enjoy the added benefit of being able to read voicemail as text. It’s automated, secure and time-freeing!” said Thomas.
