First the hard facts. SpinVox is the leader in voice to content messaging, while Skype is a major player in the VoIP market.  Combining the two together gives you voicemail to text conversion delivered as SMS messages for all Skype voicemail users. Sounds fun, right? Additionally SpinVox also converts voice messages to whether in English, Spanish, French, and German text.

If you’re at the receiving end of this feature, you can listen to the full voice message by either signing into Skype or by calling the Skype To Go Number.  You’d also be able to receive voicemail as text via Spin Vox. From there, you can opt to receive voicemail notification via SMS or by email.

By using SpinVox with your Skype account, you are giving yourself some added flexibility and convenience. The SpinVox voice-to-text service extends your Skype’s functionality as well as  allows you to take your Skype conversations where ever you go. 

But wait, this may be a cool and useful feature that you can use on your Skype. However, the service is not free. Each converted voice mail will set you back $.25 plus the SMS data cost which depends on your mobile carrier.

Now, to cushion the cost of the service as well as prevent you from incurring too much costs when using the service, you will be given the option to limit the number of voicemail conversions that you want to receive every day. You can also specify to receive converted message from a specific people on your contact list.
