[Asterisk-Users] Re: Speech Recognition

[Adam Holt]

Spinvox have a distinct advantage over most telephony applications in that
their speech recognition does not have to occur in realtime - it simply
records the speech and then processes it afterwards.

I strongly suspect since the company always acts very tight-lipped about
their technology that it relies heavily on human operators.  Think about it
if the average translation of voicemail to text message was to take 2 mins,
that would cost them about 20p per message if they use minimum wage UK
workers.  Make that under 3p per message in the more likely scenario that
they are using a call-centre in India.

Since they charge you 25p per message this is a feasible business model, and
one that hasn't got to rely on any bleeding edge technologies.
