SimulScribe transcribes voicemail into text

by Chris Gilmer Mar 2nd 2007

SimulScribe is offering a unique solution for users of voice mail; A way to convert voice mail into readable text.

SimulScribe transcribes voice mails and sends them directly to your mobile device as text or email messages. Its sometimes a hassle to check voicemails and write down notes from messages -- and its so much easier to take a glance at txts that come in -- so what better way than to get your voice messages sent straight to your portable device.

It is a tad pricey though at $9.95 for a bundle of 40 messages. You can try it free for a month to see if you can justify the charge. SimulScribe currently has over 5000 users, and supposedly will announce a deal with a major national carrier in April.

I'm subscribed to it and it works quite well. It's not perfect, but it is definitely worth the investment to not to have to call voicemail. If I need to listen to the actual audio message, a WAV file is attached to the e-mail with the transcript or I can call a phone number and listen to it. But in the last ten days since I've been using the service, I've only listened to the actual audio once.

All in all, it's a very useful service.

You know I have looked at this service and the competition out there for it, mainly spinvox. I have to say after looking at and choosing to go with spinvox, I am very satisfied with my decision. They are highly automated and get the transcription to you fast and acurate. They are also providing a free trial for one year. Check them out at www.spinvox.com

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
