Skype V2T: That’s voice-to-text, folks! ================================================================================ briankend on 11/03/2009 16:53:00 As a defining criteria, you must be able to speak in the four languages they are planning to make the service available. Also, there shall be no more of missed notifications for Windows and Mac users, be it an email or a simple SMS. But there shall stay attached a price with it, which is $0.25 for converting the messages from voice to text. But it’s going to work out cheaper than telephony, even for long voicemails spanning over as many as three messages. Now, users may ask what if a voicemail fails to fit within three text messages? It shall be truncated, plain and simple. What if some technical failures bar it from reaching its destination? Or, what if a poor signal quality renders it unconvertible? Nothing; you still have to pay for it, even for the misunderstood words that shall appear as question marks/spaces within the text body. But Skype has devised a few ways to keep cost-conscious people happy. There are several options that allow bills from running high and one of them is configuring Skype contacts for voice message conversions. If you change your mind and decide not to send one, there is a 10-minute delay, which also cuts out the chances of missing a message. So it seems that English, Spanish, French and German speakers are in for a good time and Italians and Portuguese speakers to follow up soon.
