SpinVox announced today that Rogers Wireless, Canada’s largest wireless data and voice communications services provider, will offer SpinVox voicemail-to-text service across its network. Starting this Fall, Rogers subscribers will be able to choose to have all their voicemails converted to text by SpinVox and sent directly to their cell phones as an SMS message.

SpinVox eliminates the need to check voicemail in the traditional way and the company anticipates mass-market adoption of its service. SpinVox sends the SMS along with the number, so the caller can be immediately identified, enabIing customers to instantly respond either by text or phone with just one-touch. SpinVox is the only voice-to-text service with multilingual capability, so Rogers’ subscribers can have both their English and French voicemails converted. “As Canada's leading provider of data communications services, Rogers Wireless is always looking to help customers save time with the latest innovations in mobile communications,” said John Boynton, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, Rogers Wireless. "Spinvox provides a great tool for road warriors when they cannot listen to their voicemail as the system uses very sophisticated voice-to-text solutions and delivers with great accuracy.

With the Spinvox solution, users can receive and read messages while held up in a meeting or on the run and are able to easily document detailed directions and coordinates.” “This milestone for SpinVox clearly shows our ability to deliver solutions for North America’s leading communications companies and meet the needs of their customers in the rapidly growing voice messaging market,” said Christina Domecq, SpinVox CEO and co-founder.

“Rogers is an innovative pioneer that recognizes the value of Voice-to- Screen messaging for their customers across Canada. It’s going to enhance the way people communicate and that’s always the goal at the end of the day.” SpinVox launched Voicemail-to-Text in 2004 and it is one of the company’s eight world- first products, creating a new category of communications, Voice-to-ScreenTM.

The deal with Rogers Wireless marks its fourth carrier announcement in North America and SpinVox forecasts a total of 12 announced deals by the end of 2007, leading to an estimated global subscriber base of six million in the first quarter of 2008. Rogers has the largest wireless network in Canada, reaching 94% of the population.
