CEO of PhoneTag James Siminoff awoke to chatter on Twitter this morning suggesting his company, which converts voicemail to text, died during the night. He suggests bloggers give too much credit to Google. “Category killer? Hardly! From a fear factor side, I don’t see Google moving my lunch. They are getting into a biz they don’t understand. l laugh at that.” That may be the nicest thing he said about Google in the interview.

CTIA exposed a bunch of new companies getting into the voice to text game and it is expected to be a fast growing area. This morning saw my post on Nuance, a company bringing voice to text to GPS (in addition to a voicemail to text service), last month we saw Spinvox get $100 million in investment to grow internationally. Today, I got the opportunity to mix it up with James Simonoff, CEO of SimulScribe whose company is a leader in voicemail to text serivce and get the pulse of his company and where he believes the market is headed. Simulscribe also extended a 30 day free trial for Gadgetell readers. See the end of the post for link.
