SpinVox, which specialises in voice-to-screen messaging, has signed a contract in Spain with Vodafone.   

SpinVox converts a message spoken into a mobile into text and delivers it to the recipient as an SMS. When the recipient gets the SMS text message, they can reply with a single click with a call or a text message. SpinVox offers its service in Spanish, English, French and German.

The company says this is its sixth carrier announcement this year and the company is promising five more by the end of the year and a global subscriber base of at least six million in the first quarter of 2008. 

There appears to be something truly magical about Spinvox’s success. Other people have been plugging away at voice to text conversion for years and still can’t deal with the variety of accents in one language, never mind four. Perhaps money from a sherry empire – Christina Domecq, co-founder and CEO comes from that Domecq family – is a secret ingredient.
