Yap, a provider of automated, cloud-based speech recognition services, announces availability of Yap Voicemail for Android. The free application automatically converts voicemails into text making it easier and more convenient to access, search and respond to voice messages. More than 10 million AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon users with Android phones can now download Yap Voicemail from the Android Market.
A recent study on behaviors and attitudes towards voicemail reveals that users spend more than 1 billion hours annually on voicemail, yet are highly dissatisfied. Users cite the following as the primary challenges of voicemail: listening to long and rambling voice messages, navigating complex voicemail menu systems and needing to grab paper and pencil to take notes. Yap Voicemail solves these problems by converting voice messages into text and presenting the results in an intuitive graphical user interface on their mobile device.
