Tom Keating http://blog.tmcnet.com/blog/tom-keating/ Vonage added a couple more features to their Vonage Visual Voicemail service.

Today Vonage added two new features: voicemail transcripts can now be sent to up to five e-mail addresses at the same time. The second is that it can be sent to your mobile phone via text message.

The service still costs $0.25 per transcribed voicemail (plus applicable network fees for wireless text messages). From what I understand they use SimulScribe to do the speech recognition and conversion to text. My sources tell me they've had mixed results with the accuracy but overall they like the feature.]]>
