SimulScribe has developed a new feature to be used with any cellular phone that is compliable with the internet. This is their attempt to provide customers with a service that is their version of visual voicemail which is offered by Cingular to its customers. So another words, if you are a customer of Verizon, T-mobile, or Sprint (obviously there are other providers) and you are looking to put a visual type mail service on your phone then you can sign up for this site and they will help you get a similar service to what Cingular offers. So what is the difference? Well the simulscribe feature can be used with almost any phone where as the other visual voice mail feature only works for phones which already include it. Also, the simulscribe feature takes the literal meaning of the word visual and includes it in their service.
The word visual means
that you are able to see something and this is what Simulscribe gives you with your mail, when you get an voice mail this service
will email you your voicemail in a text version of what the person said. They will also include a audio version of the voicemail so that you can hear what the person says (which is all that visual voice mail is). In theory this lets you do the same thing as the original voice mail because if you do not want to see the message that the person left you then you do not have to read it or ever click the audio file to listen but I find that the actual visual voicemail is better because you can click on the voicemail you actually want to hear and it will play within seconds where as the Simulscribe feature would require you to flick through ...
