Converting voicemail into text messages for transmission to a wireless information device

Voicemail is received at a voicemail server and converted into an audio file format. The audio file is then sent or streamed over a wide area network to a voice to text transcription system comprising a network of computers. One of the networked computers plays back the audio file to a human operator and the operator intelligently transcribes the original voice message by entering a corresponding text message into the computer. The transcribed text message (SMS or MMS) is then sent to the wireless information device from the computer. The transcribed text message may be a succinct version of the original voice message rather than a verbose word-for-word conversion. Also, the text message may include a unique identifier that links it to the voice message to allow the end user to play back the voice message to the wireless information device.

METHOD AND ARRANGEMENT FOR OBTAINING AN ELECTRONIC MAIL SERVICE

The a user interface (UI) residing in a mobile environment, which has a possibility of indicating after reading each message whether or not the message is divergent from the normal/general level as to the importance of the message. Advantageously, the user does not need to do the indication every time when reading the mail. In the interface, after a given mail has been read (or a part of the given mail has been read), there occurs a possibility to choose between two alternatives: interesting or non-interesting.

Communication Method Utilizing Text Messaging to Enable the Synchronization of Voice Call Availability, Transmission and Connection

A method in which text messaging is used to make voice transmissions via phone more efficient. The initiator of a phone call employs a dial pad which transmits a text message inquiring as to the availability of the recipient to take a voice call, rather than causing the phone of the recipient to ring.
