VoiceCloud.com - Voicemail to TextWhat it doesSo smartphones are really big and have consequently spawned a million types, kinds and clones.

So when you're in a pinch and can't contact the all important person who would solve it all but is conveniently MIA, VoiceCloud will make sure that that person gets a human transcribed text of your urgency. VoiceCloud is currently offering a free month trial before a pay scheme kicks

Several people have noticed a new version of Google Talk (1.0.0.105) in the wild that is available to download from here. We've been waiting since January for a new version, and it's unfortunate to see that when we finally get one, it removes several features that I thought were really great — including voicemail.In previous versions of Google Talk, if someone tried to call and you didn't pick up, the caller would be asked to record a mesage. That recording would then appear in the recipients Gmail as a voicemail message. I guess it would be fair to ask, how many people actually used the voicemail feature? I liked it, but I've personally never received a real message, or left one — maybe this is the rationale behind its removal?Besides voicemail, it appears Google has also removed Orkut integration, and the "show what I'm listening to" feature.It would be nice to see a new version of the Google Talk client which includes great new features — it's been far too long

04 December 2007Klausner Technologies has filed a $360 million suit against Apple and AT&T over voicemail patents that the company claims the iPhone infringes.New York-based Klausner says the lawsuit also names Comcast, Cablevision Systems and Ebay's Skype as infringing its patent for "visual voicemail". The plaintiff seeks an additional $300 million from the three.The iPhone's visual voicemail is just one of the standout features of the handset, which has won critical acclaim and huge sales success in the US, although appears to be struggling to repeat that feat in the UK.Klausner has filed the lawsuit in a US Court for the Eastern District of Texas. The suit alleges the defendants' internet-based voicemail products and services violate a Klausner patent.The complaint involves US patent 5,572,576, the same one at issue in a suit Klausner filed in 2006 against VoIP provider Vonage. The two sides agreed to settle that earlier case in October 2007, according a spokesman for Klausn

Do you ever get bored of listening to your clients’ voicemails? Do you grow tired of repeating the same old same old and never getting any call backs? Do you wish there was some magic way to get clients to ring you back? You’re in good company! Complaints about voicemail, the electronic gatekeeper, are one of the biggest issues that many of my seminar delegates face. If only they could avoid voicemails! If only they could speak to more decision makers! If only there was a magical technique for guaranteeing that their prospects would ring them back! Get over it! There isn’t. But voicemail is so  much worse than it was 10 or even 5 years ago Gavin. Soon I won’t be able to speak to anyone! Is it? Maybe. Maybe not. In my experience there were plenty of industries even 10 years ago where many clients used voicemail as a way of filtering their inbound calls. When I was a sales director and got 35 to 40 inbound calls a day I used voicemail to filter my calls. This

A vulnerability has been reported in Asterisk, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) or potentially to compromise a vulnerable system.The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the IMAP-specific code for processing voicemail messages. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow via a specially crafted voicemail message sent as email containing an overly long (more than 1024 characters) combination of Content-Type or Content-Description headers.Successful exploitation requires that a user listens to the voicemail message via a phone. The vulnerability is reported in 1.4.x versions prior to 1.4.13.Secunia ReportAsterisk Report and SolutionTags: Denial of Service, Asterisk, Secunia, Asterisk Security, IMAP, VoIP Security

The other day, I discussed how to record audio on your iPhone. Several people wrote in asking whether they could have their recordings show up in voicemail, so I scouted around a bit. I discovered that voicemail is stored in ~/Library/Voicemail and that it uses an sqlite3-compatible database to manage that information. Last night, I put together a shell script that allows you to trick the iPhone into thinking that amr files added to the voicemail folder are actual voicemails. To make this happen, I ported sqlite3 to the iPhone (You can download a copy here). I also wrote a csh script, which you can download here and a time utility, here. The reason I wrote the script in csh rather than bash (both of which appear in the standard binary distribution kit) is just that I'm more familiar with csh. To run the script, supply it with the amr file as its one argument, e.g. copy2vmail foo.amr. The script copies the amr file to the voicemail folder and updates the voicemail database as if the vo

So the iPhone doesn't come with a voice memo feature. Very frustrating for a musician/songwriter type like myself who doesn't want to lug around a cell phone and some other voice memo gadget*. No big deal, though. I'll just call my voicemail and leave a voicemail for myself. And besides, the iPhone has the nifty Visual Voicemail which lets you go through voicemail like you would email, in any order you choose. Not so fast. You can't leave voicemail for yourself with the iPhone. I've tried. Hard. It's pretty ridiculous, I know. But it's true. So what is one to do? Enter k7, which gets my vote for the coolest way to improve your life for free since, I don't know, air was invented. You set up a free account and you get a free phone number. You can leave yourself a voicemail, and - get ready, here comes the cool part - it will email it to you as a .wav attachment.

Gadget Reviews: Some of us love to attend phone calls, while some persons are there who are so busy that they are not able to attend phone calls and sometimes they miss really very important. In such cases we can use the "Voicemail Services". Almost all mobile phones come with built-in voicemail features and it is very simple to use it.

When you travel out, some times phone network interrupts and your family and friends can not contact you, but with voicemail services they can lease messages for you.2. Sometime when we get call from an unknown number, we just hesitate (not for all) to pick up the phone. In this case voicemail is very-very useful. The concerned person can leave message and if you consider that the person should be called then you can call.3. When your mobile's battery meter downs, it is very difficult to com
