Voice-to-text provider SpinVox has inked a deal to bring its technology to users of Skype’s internet telephony service. SpinVox says the service will launch some time before the end of the year.

Once the service is rolled in, when you place a call to a Skype user who isn’t available, you can leave a message which will be translated into text and sent off to their mobile phone as a text message. Not only does this make it easier to reach a Skype user when they’re on the go, but it’s a bonus for the Skyper who is paranoid about missing messages while out to lunch, on the road or somewhere other that in front of the computer. Text messages can be forwarded to any mobile phone or device.
