MetaSwitch Forum 2009, Las Vegas, NV: April 8, 2009. GotVoice, Inc. the voice-to-text transformation company, and MetaSwitch, a leading vendor of next-generation carrier switching and application solutions, today announced a partnership to provide MetaSwitch customers with high quality transformations of voicemails into text.

Built on GotVoice's patented technologies, the Voicemail-to-Text service is available immediately for MetaSwitch customers, enabling end-users to quickly scan and digest their voicemail easily from email on their computer or mobile phone handset. As part of the partnership, MetaSwitch customers are able to transparently integrate GotVoice's technology into their existing brands, increasing their ARPU quickly and achieving differentiation without capital outlays or infrastructure changes.

"The ability to read voicemail quickly has proven invaluable to customers, saving them time and improving their productivity," said Curt Blake, CEO of GotVoice. "Our collaboration with MetaSwitch and their service provider customers is a natural extension of the MetaSphere applications suite and will help GotVoice bring its technology to new audiences."

GotVoice's patented and scalable technology platform processes MetaSphere voicemails and transforms the messages into text with unparalleled accuracy and speed. Having already converted millions of MetaSphere generated voicemails, the service enables users to quickly scan messages in email and immediately understand them at a glance - a compelling value-add service for consumers of MetaSphere voicemails.

"Our partners have come to expect technology innovation and leadership from MetaSwitch," said Andrew Randall, Vice President of Marketing at MetaSwitch. "Our partnership with GotVoice solidifies this stance and continues our commitment to next-generation solutions for our customers."
