Google Voice plays Voice Mail in text
I received a Google Voice – voice mail from an unknown caller, most likely wrong number and Google Voice was able to translate it to text transcript, even highlighting it word by word when the voice mail is played.
Although accuracy is not perfect, I would say it matches more than 50% of the time. Besides, this mail is not with accurately spoken English, so I think Google Voice fairs quite well here.
Actual voice message from my deciphering robot:
Yeah Scotty uh, Tony uh, give me a call uh.. most came up on Friday.. what do you get ehm. some message told they’re going? ehm buddy? give me a call at 76339893…. oh gosh you know the number don’t? urghhhhh 93.. 9307 i believe.. give me a call bye.
To the person who left this voicemail, sorry that I used your message online, but IMHO, I don’t think it made any sense to anyone else except for you and your friend. So I believe this wouldn’t endanger anyone and I hold the credit to you for displaying how Google Voice can do voice mail playback and text transcript. 🙂
