Cogi has introduced a new productivity tool to help consumers and professionals with audio recording and transcription service.

 

The new toll acts as a virtual note-taking service that assists with accurate, timely and secure audio and text transcripts. Users can hear and read the important points from any call or meeting while at home, in the office or on-the-go. And the best part is- it works instantly on any U.S. Phone.

 

To use the service, just log on to www.cogi.com to download a free 30-day trial. The service works on any U.S. phone and on any network starting at $29.95 a month.

 

"We heard it loud and clear in our customer research ... it's getting harder and harder to keep up with the avalanche of important details -- especially the ones that come from conversations," says Palmer Jackson, Cogi chief marketing officer. "There is a tension in every conversation between listening well and taking good notes. Prior to Cogi, it's been nearly impossible to do both at the same time."

 

Users can start using Cogi by making a call using their desktop software or dial the Cogi Access Number from any landline or mobile phone. They can record full conversations and flag key ("cogent") parts of the discussion with the push of a button on their computer or phone keypad after the activation. Once the user finishes with a call or meeting, they can access Cogi's e-mail-like Web interface to view and share recordings and transcripts.

 

"Simply recording calls just doesn't cut it, so we built a first-to-market service that lets users quickly hear, read and share what was said during important conversations. And, Cogi is a great mobile safety tool -- letting cell phone users make calls without worrying about taking notes while driving," Jackson adds.

 

Cogi officials said that the new service specifically aims to aid individuals to focus on their conversations without the distraction of taking notes.

 

On the whole, the new service is a combination of signal processing, speech-to-text technology, and human assistance.

 

Headquartered in Santa Barbara, California, Cogi was started in March 2007 and its client list includes CallWave, CrystalVoice Communications, ComDesign and PulsePoint Communications.
