How to get voicemail translated to text? visual voicemail?

[lindseybp]

Is there a way to have your voicemails transcribed to text so you can just look at your voicemail without having to call? I had that on verizon and never had to call my voicemail as everything just transcribed to text right on the app also.

You can do it with Google Voice:
https://www.google.com/voice/b/0?pli=1#inbox

...or if you don't need or want a Google Voice number, you can use Google Voice Lite:

https://support.google.com/voice/answer/115127?hl=en

Both are free and both will send you audio visual voicemail, text transcripts or email transcripts. Choose any method you want or all 3.

Google Voice Lite also lets you setup custom voicemail greetings. If you get a Google Voice number you can do everything the Lite version does and much more. It also effectively gives your phone a second number. All for free.

Android since v1.0. Linux user since 2001.

You're gonna get addicted to having Google Voice and a second number. Absolutely terrific service, does all kinds of things. I'm sure you installed the Google Voice app to go with it. If you really want to make it cool, especially if you have your contacts organized in groups, install VoiceChoice 2.0.

But don't you have to pay for YouMail for it to show up on your phone. I had the VM from Verizon, but it stopped working - which is why I tried YouMail, but it only sent the text to my email.

Google Voice silently fails for me (like, the important UI parts in help articles are just missing), apparently because I'm not in the US. Oh, I appear to be in a US forum - google led me here, so I'll leave some info for other non-Americans who wander in.

fongo (canada) will email me mp3s, but no transcription yet, and youmail is $5/month for transcripts... it looks like my options are a paid app like that, or a website... https://spokendata.com/ has a free trial and pretty cheap rates. I could have sworn there was a fully free online transcription service, but I can't find it now.

Oh. spokendata's free trial was... entertaining, but, I'm not sure I would even be able to tell if messages are spam, let alone what they're about. Here's the transcript of a message telling me my new glasses are ready for pickup: "Hi timing disinvestment an optical it's like you know your boss humanity and now be here tonight until five cents. A moral thing here eleven to her eyes and miracle occurred some days. The memory."

Now I understand why most of the search results were about humans, not software, doing the transcription.
