It was a boon for me when I discovered voice recognition on my phone keyboard actually works well. I haven't been typing any messages since then. And my messages are also more clear since I'm not frustrated I'm wasting my time struggling with my large fingers on a little string doing something that could be done an order of magnitude faster with speech[0].
[0] Well, some of my friends are too lazy and actually leave me a voice message. I let them all know I prefer text messages and they can use the little microphone icon next to space for that. The only one who can communicate with me in this way is my partner, I actually like listening to their voice.
- criddell 4y agoIf your phone isn't too old, there's probably a setting where voice mails can be transcribed to text messages.
- jeromegv 4y agoIt's actually dependant on the carrier. In Canada most carriers will make you pay extra every month for visual voice mail, without that you don't get any kind of transcription. Some low cost carriers, like mine, don't even offer it.
- benfrancom 4y agoGoogle voice does this for free (aside from what Google normally does with your data). Could forward voicemail there.
- konfusinomicon 4y agoI've decided voicemail is a dead and obsolete technology and haven't had it set up in over a decade, but I do agree that hearing the voice of a loved one is nice, especially one that is no longer with us
- nickstinemates 4y agoIt's pure vanity I guess - but I feel really stupid talking to my phone to transcribe a text message. I also feel like it's a huge invasion of privacy even if I would be saying "off to the store."
