I agree with you regarding offshore human decoding, and wondering if Skype is doing the same. If you get voicemail converted to text in about 10-20 minute, most probably it is a human listening and typing it. To hire a few people to do it in some cheap part of the world where they can understand and write English for a few cents is entirely possible.<br>

<br>
I understand that speech recognition technology is not very reliable, but skype
has has launched a voicemail to text service, and googling showed that some
other companies are also offering similar services. I haven't used any such
service yet, but was curious is there any open source software available,
which, to some extent, could help converting speech from voicemial wav files to
text files and could be used with Asterisk? Or is there any other way to
accomplish this?<br clear="all">
