Abstract

A voicemail platform which provides a voicemail to text conversion service to a user includes a storage system which stores username data for a user of a voicemail to text conversion service, and a processing system. The processing system receives a voicemail message for the user, sends the voicemail message and the username data to a speech engine, receives text from the speech engine which is converted from the voicemail message using the username data to correctly spell all occurrences of the user's name within the voicemail message, and sends the converted text to a device of the user.
