Ask HN: What service does this?

5 pointshackernews15y ago2 comments

I'm buying a sailboat from someone who has a lot of boats around NYC. I left him a voice mail earlier this evening, he just called back.

He left a message with me, and at the same time sent a txt message with his vm transcribed.

What service was he using? This seems like a brilliant idea. thoughts?

Google Voice does VM-to-text synthesis, but I don't think it's behavior is along the exact lines of what you described.

How close to 'same time' were the two received? Did the text have any errors or hints that it was sent by a human and not computer-generated?
