Alltel Introduces Voice2TXT Feature

Posted by Matthew Bretz - Monday, December 17, 2007 3:36 PM

If you’re like TheFeed, you’re no doubt inundated this time of year with countless voicemails holding holiday tidings of mirth and goodwill sent by wishers well. Of course, if you really are like TheFeed, you know that danger and intrigue don’t take a vacation and you’re up to your armpits in the business of ass-kicking, name-taking and day-saving. And you sure as Hell have no time to check your voicemail.

Well fret not, because Alltel has announced a solution to your every problem. As part of Alltel's Voice2TXT feature, for $4.99 a month, the Alltel guy (right) will listen to 20 of your voicemails and transcribe them into text messages. He’ll even transcribe 100 messages for $19.99 per month.

That way, you’ll be sure not to miss the warm holiday wishes coming your way, whether you’re mediating nuclear disarmament talks, thwarting the radiation poisoning plots of ex-KGB operatives, or battling your arch-nemesis atop his Arctic headquarters.

Or whatever it is you do.

I don't think I would feel comfortable with this...They are going to have underpaid workers doing the translating for less than $1 an hour- one thing I detest, and I wouldn't like the idea of someone else listening to my messages, to me, it's an invasion of privacy.

haha. i agree metonic. i would just have other people leave me dirty messages to see how they transcribe them. something like "oh man last night was rough. i've had the pancake stihs so bad today."
