Voicemail system and method for providing voicemail to text message conversion
A method and system for allowing a calling party to send a voicemail message as a text message are provided. A calling party leaves a voicemail message and that message is converted from voice to a text message. If the calling party wishes to confirm the conversion, the text message is then converted to a voicemail message. The converted voicemail message is presented to the calling party so that the calling party can review and edit the message. The calling party can review and edit any portion of the converted voicemail message. The edits of the voicemail message are applied and the voicemail message is converted to a new text message. If the calling party wishes to further review and edit the text message, it is converted to a new voicemail. Otherwise, the text message is sent to a called party.

8. A system comprising:
a processor; and
a memory that stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising
receiving, from a calling-party device, a first voice message,
initiating converting the first voice message to a second message in a different format,
initiating presenting, to the calling-party device, in response to input to the calling-party device indicating a confirmation of the second message in the different format, a first copy option to receive a copy of the second message in the different format, and
transmitting the copy of the second message in the different format to the calling-party device in response to input to the calling-party device indicating a selection of the first copy option.
9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise initiating presenting, to the calling-party device, a second copy option to receive a copy of the first voice message.
10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the different format includes a text format.
11. The system of claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise initiating converting the second message in the different format to a second voice message.
12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the operations further comprise:
initiating presenting at least a portion of the second voice message to the calling-party device; and
initiating presenting, to the calling-party device, a confirmation option to confirm the second message in the different format.
13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the operations further comprise initiating, if a request to edit the second voice message is received, editing the second message in the different format using the calling-party device.
14. The system of claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise storing each of the first voice message and the second message in the different format in a respective repository.
15. A computer-readable storage device storing instructions that, when executed by a processor of a system, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
receiving, from a calling-party device, a first voice message;
initiating converting the first voice message to a second message in a different format;
initiating presenting, to the calling-party device, a first option to present the second message in the different format;
initiating presenting, to the calling-party device, in response to input to the calling-party device indicating a confirmation of the second message in the different format, a second option to receive a copy of the second message in the different format; and
transmitting the copy of the second message in the different format to the calling-party device in response to input to the calling-party device indicating a selection of the second option.
16. The computer-readable storage device of claim 15 , wherein the second message in the different format is a text message.
17. The computer-readable storage device of claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise initiating presenting, to the calling-party device, a third option to confirm the second message in the different format.
18. The computer-readable storage device of claim 17 , wherein the operations further comprise transmitting, in response to input to the calling-party device indicating the confirmation of the second message in the different format, the second message in the different format to a called-party device.
19. The computer-readable storage device of claim 17 , wherein the operations further comprise initiating, if a request to edit the second message in the different format is received from the calling-party device, editing the second message in the different format using the calling-party device.
20. The computer-readable storage device of claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise storing each of the first voice message and the second message in the different format in a respective repository.
