Still using SpinVox

I love using SpinVox to have my voicemails transcribed and emailed to me, but I’m having problems getting accuracy in translations. For example, here’s one I got today:

Eric, hey it’s Quack the Messer. Hey I’m checking at your tab and I think it looks fantastic and I’m pretty not ya it feels great and it’s nice and wide. This is like the real Bear. It looks to you at all. so I think you should go for it. So I will make sure what to do.

I don’t know any “Quack the Messer”!

Or, maybe it’s that all my friends are mumblers. Still, I have been impressed when people leave messages that are very clear. Here’s one that Mandy left me when I was testing the service:

Hello, Eric. This is Mandy & I just wanted to say shooby dooby shananana, lalalalalala, ok. Bye.

Fun stuff. I love SpinVox.

    I think Quack the Messer is trying to ask you out on a date. Put it through a babel fish translator, it gets even better!

    Did you call your voice mail and find out what it really said … did it make any sense afterwards ?

    I almost want to call you and leave some random message

    I actually babble more on your voice mail because of the SpinVox translator - it’s too tempting not to. And it fulfills my evil strategy to fill up your Inbox with random things.

    SpinVox went live in the USA, and is now being sold through uReach! $9.99 per month: http://www.ureach.com/spinvox/
