PortaOne, Inc. today announced the successful integration between its PortaSwitch IP multimedia subsystem and the GotVoice G2 voicemail transcription platform. With GotVoice, VoIP providers using PortaSwitch can now reliably offer their subscribers the ability to read their voicemails and process the information instantly.
GotVoice, available to carriers on a pay-as-you-go basis, is a revolutionary technology designed specifically to convert voicemail into text. Having already processed millions of messages, the GotVoice service provides the highest voicemail-to-text quality in the industry.
The addition of GotVoice gives PortaSwitch users a highly flexible and strategic service option. GotVoice can create a new revenue stream as a value-add for subscribers, or it can be offered at no cost as a way to attract or retain customers. In whichever form, this service is a unique differentiator—one with proven and lasting appeal for both business and non-business users in today’s competitive VoIP marketplace.

The integrated GotVoice offering with the PortaSwitch platform requires no infrastructure upgrades or capital outlays, making it an affordable complement that’s easily enabled. PortaSwitch, a software-based communication services and subscriber management solution, lets IP telephony service providers unify their voice, data and fax traffic within a single network. The comprehensive, Class 5 product consists of a softswitch and application servers, delivering SIP call control, unified messaging, cloud PBX, voice VPN, callback management, conferencing, billing and provisioning and much more.
