Digital Disruption

SimulScribe has come up with an elegant solution to one of my pet peeves – voicemail and the ridiculously laborious and time wasting process of retrieving voicemail messages.

I just signed up and tested the system and it works really smoothly. They provide you with a call-forward number that you program into your (mobile or landline) phone. When someone leaves you a voicemail, their system converts your voicemail messages into text (using some very cool voice recognition technology) and emails you the transcribed message and a digital audio file of the message to your email with time-stamp and caller ID info attached.

You can now simply read and/or listen to your messages the same way you do with your regular email. And I can now use my Gmail / Google search to find key info from my voicemail messages!

The company has been featured in the NY Times, WSJ and most recently in “The Next 25 startups to watch” in Business 2.0
