How to Use Voicemail Transcription on iPhone
Voicemail to text, also known as voicemail transcription or visual voicemail, is available on many iPhone and Android devices. These services create a written version of voicemail messages on your smartphone. Although the transcription may not always be 100 percent accurate, it usually gives you a good sense of what a message is about. Here’s how to use voicemail to text on an iPhone. You can also share a voicemail with someone using Messages or Mail or save it to a file management system like Dropbox. These options are also in the Save window.
How to Use Voicemail Transcription on an Android Phone
To use visual voicemail on your Android phone, first check with your carrier to confirm it supports it. T-Mobile users can access it in the visual voicemail area of their Google Phone app. Other carriers may require you to download their voicemail app to access voicemail transcription, in which case the service might come with a monthly fee. If you don’t want to pay the fee, you can use YouMail, Google Voice, or another app to get voicemail transcriptions instead. Here’s how to set it up for free using Google Voice: You’re all done.
