I love learning about new technology! Recently I was reading something on voicemail that I thought I’d share with you today. Many, many people dislike having to check their voicemails throughout the day. I’m certainly guilty of feeling that way. Perhaps you’re like that too.

Why? It just takes so much time going through all the options, one by one, delete, listen, and repeat. Ugh!

Well, now there’s a way to have your voicemail delivered to you through your telephone’s text capabilities.

Apparently, a company called SimulScribe will convert voicemail to text and then process it for delivery using SMS or email. The messages arrive in just about real time and provide the sender’s phone information, text of the message and a .wav file as an attachment.

Among the many sweet features are unlimited voicemail storing, an online interface to log into, on-the-fly manageability and a reasonable monthly fee of $9.95 (at time of this writing) which covers your first 40 transcriptions with additional messages costing .25 for the duration of the month.
