[edit] Voicemail to text

Non notable product and/or service (600 odd ghits) that seems to serve as a magnet for spam links. Purge for being non-notable spam/advertising. Megapixie 08:12, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

• I believe this article attempts to explore history of voicemail-specific speech-to-text service providers. If advertising is indeed kept to a minimum of only a chronological order of provider offering, this should continue to grow into an informative overview of this emerging application.

Do you, by any chance have any association with the company concerned ? Megapixie 08:36, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

I use the service, does that not make me simply a valuable contributor? Any agenda I have would be educational, not commercial or promotional. Does Wikipedia not support articles on technological advancement if organizated in a fair and balanced method? Rygelski 08:41 UTC

Not if you're the guy whose contact details are at the bottom of this - http://www.prwebdirect.com/releases/2005/11/prweb304961.htm Megapixie 08:44, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

If you'll notice, I also added many other details to competitor's services for better organization and additional non-biased information (as well as revisions to unrelated articles in Wikipedia). If I was trying to post self-promoting material, wouldn't I better hide my identity and focus on my own few documents instead of contributing as fairly to articles that would contradict my own "self-promotion"? Am I under review or is the educational quality of the article? Rygelski 08:51, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

• Keep and Rewrite. Seems to be a generic name for a type of technology/service rather than the name of a specific company/product. "Voicemail to text" gets 18500 ghits. Article should be made encyclopedic...emphasizing what the technology is instead of companies that provide it or first provided it. Include a link to speech recognition. An article that attracts spam/ads should be edited, not deleted. Flying Jazz 00:37, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
