Title: Voicemail is converted to text message and sent as a premium rate message
Inventor: DOULTON DANIEL MICHAEL
IPC: G10L15/00
Filed: 2004-04-22
Abstract: A caller initiates a voice call to a mobile telephone, which is diverted to a voicemail server where the caller leaves a voice message. The voice message is converted into an audio file format, which is then sent or streamed over a wide area network to a voice to text transcription system comprising a network of computers. One of the networked computers plays back the audio file to a human operator and the operator intelligently transcribes the original voice message by entering a corresponding text message into the computer. The transcribed text message, e.g. SMS or MMS, is then sent to the intended recipient mobile telephone from the computer. The transcribed text message is sent as a premium rate message.
