SpinVox, the pioneer and leader in Voice-to-Screen messaging, just announced that it has made a deal with Skype to offer its voicemail-to-text service for the VOIP software. Initially, the service will be available in English, Spanish, German and French.

The SpinVox voice-to-message is a simple and practical solution that converts your voicemail to text and delivers them to your mobile phone, email inbox or blackberry device. This makes the voicemail experience easier and more manageable since it makes the message more accessible.

In its deal with Skype, SpinVox will allow Skype users to have all their voicemail messages converted and sent to their cellphones as an SMS when they are not on their computer. The service also supports the Skype Caller ID, which it will include on the SMS message of the converted voicemail. This gives skype users even more immediate and convenient access to their messages even when they are on the move. This also enhances the apparent reliability of the skype platform, since people will be more confident that their messages will reach their contacts immediately even when the latter are offline or away from their computer.

Because it uses the industry standard SMS to deliver the converted message, SpinVox will reach any mobile phone, obviating the need for skype users to download new software onto their phone to benefit from this voice-to-text messaging service.

This is a powerful example of how SpinVos is enabling leading Web 2.0 services to extend their reach from PC to mobile,” said Christina Domecq, CEO and co-founder, SpinVox. “It’s also proof of our ability to integrate our technology with an existing servie platform, whether fixed-line, cable or wireless and now internet calling, with market leaders Skype.

The globan nature of both Skype and SpinVox services makes for a natural and exciting partnership that will deliver a simpler, more effective communication experience for both the caller and the Skype user receiving a message,” continued Domecq.

Though the service will launch at the end of the year, this deal is a step towards a world of convergence and connectivity. Soon, skype users will become even more connected and always updated with their voice mail messages, thanks to SpinVox’s voice-to-text services. Having seen the renewed focus of the industry to bring new things to the age-old voice mail technology, we can only expect more innovation in this space.
