Unlimited Voice to Text: Free Trial Over Monday, Sign up Now!

Posted on December 3, 2009 by Gary G

At the beginning of October we announced the launch of the new Unlimited Voice to Text feature and the feedback has been great:

twitter-voice-to-text“This is probably the *best* innovation in voice mail I’ve seen in years. The automated transcription is amazingly accurate, so much that I didn’t realize the first couple of times that it was real. Just assumed it was boilerplate text for marketing the new feature.”

“Great Voice to text feature!! Thanks for bringing it in house. I’ve already signed up to the service.”

@elizabethpw: my voicemail system now emails me voice-to-text transcriptions of each voicemail. THAT IS AWESOME!

@ducttape: Grasshopper phone service just added VMs to text something I’ve wanted for a while – Nice!

As a reminder to everyone, the 60 day free trial is over December 7th (that’s Monday!), for those customers who were signed up prior to October 9th.

Five Favorites: Features of the Grasshopper Virtual Phone System

Posted on November 25, 2009 by Gary G

mr-green-trophyWith over 25 great features in the Grasshopper virtual phone system it was hard to narrow it down to just five. But believe it not, based on feedback we have received from Grasshopper users over the years, we were able to do so.

Here are five features that our customers love and take Grasshopper above and beyond:

1. Call Forwarding

Stay connected. That is one of the mottos here and it is one of the main reasons our customers use Grasshopper. Have calls forwarded to any number in the world. Your cell phone, home phone, office phone, the pay phone down the street (we don’t necessarily recommend that but hey, it can be done). The call forwarding feature is easy to use and helps you stay connected to your small business.

With Transcription, Voice Mail Has Never Been More Entertaining

Posted on November 2, 2009 by Darren Rosebrugh

There’s no doubt that voice mail transcription has improved the strained relationship we all have with voice mail. My guess is the cool factor for voice mail wore off about 2 days after it was invented.

Since it’s easier to scan text than to call in and listen, the appeal of voice mail transcription is pretty obvious. One thing people may overlook though, is how much enjoyment you can get reading messages that the transcription program wasn’t able to process well.

In fact, just for fun, here’s what that first paragraph looks like when transcribed from voicemail:

“There’s no doubt that voicemail transcription has improved this trained relationship we all have with voicemail my guess is the Cool factor for voicemail more off about 2 days after was invented since it’s easier to scan texted to call in and listen the appeal a voicemail transcription seems is pretty obvious 1 thing people may over looked just how much enjoyed that you can get the messages at the transcription program wasn’t able to process well.”

Voice to Text on an iPhone

Meetings. Conferences. Cars. What do they all have in common? They are all places you can’t always answer your phone.

As an entrepreneur running your small business there is a lot of traveling, meetings and times you simply can’t take a phone call or listen to a voicemail.

That’s why Grasshopper is excited to announce our NEW feature – Unlimited Voice to Text.

The Voice to Text feature will do just what it sounds like; take your voicemail and transcribe it into an email, giving you the ability to view your voicemail. You can read the transcription of your voicemail on your phone or your computer without having to listen to it.
