Just the numbers, mail
Function of voice message that allows you to hear the message from the point they start mumbling their phone number too quickly. | |
Problem: It seems to me, the hardest thing to catch in a voice
message is phone numbers, as people tend to know them off by
heart
and reel them out as though everyone else should too. Thing is,
people generally leave their number until the end of their voice
message, meaning if you miss it
you have to listen to Sarah of
KPMG ramble on about why a software firm has taken it upon
themselves to sue you and your company for gross copy-write
infringement all over again.
Solved: Either (1) a simple tag that can be inserted by pressing a
button mid message that then allows you to play the message from
your tag straight away or (b) voice recognition designed purely to
decipher spoken numbers, which then either (b1) reads them out in
a
clear computer voice, (b2) replays the message from the point it
starts speaking about numbers or (b3) displays the decoded
numbers
on the screen, or finally (iii) a function to start playing the message
at
a specific time, 1 minute 23, for example.
I've given a variety of solutions as I have my doubts as to the
ability
of voice recognition technology. If it works, it's the best idea, but
the
other solutions are good too. Anyone know if they're baked?

sp. copyright - unless you meant to say that KPMG are taking legal action against you because you infringed one of their copy-writers for being too fat. In which case sp. copywriter. |

I'd like a big control dial on my phone (and pretty much everything else in life as well) that I can use to skip through the tedium. |
|

Alternatively, accessing your voice mail online would be good, allowing
you to skip to any part in a wav file. |

I might delete this idea, or put a big control dial on it for [zen_tom]. |

4) Rather than speak the phone number, the calling party should be able to type the number on their phone's keypad, the DTMF tones being captured (and replayable) on the recording end. |

"We're sorry you stole our software. Please call me, Sarah of KPMG, at {beep} {beep} {beep} {beep} {beep} {beep} {beep} {beep} {beep} {beep}. Thank you." |

Maybe your voicemail system translates them into spoken digits for you during playback. |

I like the "press a button midway to insert a tag" method. NOTE: The tag should be inserted 2 seconds *earlier* than the button so you hear the part you missed upon replaying. |

This problem does get my goat and I agree with [boysparks]. [phoenix] idea is good if anyone would actually do it! |
