Speech-To-Text Made Easy

Converting speech to text was all the rage a couple of years ago when computer microphones became mainstream. We've seen it in the movies: actors simply speak into a receiver and the computer types what they say. In practice, it's trickier. The conversion software often misinterprets what you're saying, such as typing "four" instead of "for". There are also instances wherein it simply won't recognize the words because of how you pronounce them.

If you have more text in your head than you can be bothered to type with and you don't want to use software, VoiceCloud offeres a solution. While not providing full word processing capabilities, it can provide you with quick email and SMS services for those urgent needs.

With VoiceCloud, the voice message is broken into chunks using an in-house, proprietary software, and each audio segment is sent to an available transcriber who types the section and resubmits it. The software takes over from there, recombining the textual fragments and pushing them, quickly, to an e-mail or SMS message--your choice.
