Vtxt is a form of visual voicemail eveloped by CallWave, Inc., where a mobile phone voicemail message is transcribed into text and sent to the recipient as a text message. Vtxt was launched on June 25, 2007. Vtxt uses speech recognition technology to capture and artificial intelligence to summarize the gist of the voicemail in about 125 characters; there is no live operator involvement. As explained in the April 2007 issue of Speech Strategy News, CallWave drew on a vast amount of voicemail messages and “identified a large number of statistically significant voicemail-specific behaviors in them” to open up “a new class of application” in the large vocabulary continuous speech recognition space, when developing this technology. Users can also hear, read, archive, and search their messages on a personal webpage called the PhonePage.
