Abstract

A system and method for speech file processing which provides users with differentially selectable speech file transcripts which can be sent to one or more other users. The speech files may be voicemail messages from which respective voicemail transcripts are created. The voicemail transcripts are provided in a user selectable format from which users may select non-contiguous portions of the transcript.

Claims (30)

1. A method comprising:

transcribing a voicemail message for a first person from a second person via a phone call, to yield a transcribed voicemail message;

receiving, via a voicemail interface enabling the first person to access the voicemail message, a selection of a first recipient;

transmitting a first portion of the transcribed voicemail message to the first recipient in a first message;

receiving, via the voicemail interface, a selection of a second portion of the transcribed voicemail message, the second portion being noncontiguous to the first portion;

selecting a second recipient; and

transmitting the second portion of the transcribed voicemail message to the second recipient in a second message.
