BETTER way to create voice memos on the iPhone
Or, just use "Jott" for creating a voice note, which will then have it transcribed, send it to you via text message and send you an email with the transcription along with a link to listen to the audio file. It's vastly more efficient than the workaround using AT&T's own voicemail.
You can read a detailed article about Jott on my blog HERE.
It depends on the purpose of the voice message
If you want to have an audio version that you can send just because it's easier to "hear" what you said instead of reading it, that's one thing. On the other hand, the other--and more common in my opinion--reason for a voice message is you want some way to store something ASAP without much distraction. For example while driving. A lot of phones have a voice memo button that you just hold down for 2 seconds, say whatever it is, and done. If I have to type it out to get it converted to audio, it seems redundant since the notes app on the iphone does the job usually for stuff like that. The voicemail hack is a lot more distraction less as typing on the iphone while driving is especially hazardous (a drawback to the tactile-less keyboard)
Disregard reply
I guess it would have helped to check jott out first. The way you replied it sounded like jott was a text-to-speech service, not speech-to-text (which makes a lot more sense)

EVEN BETTER way to create voice memos
I use k7.net for voice memos; they provide a personalized phone number and email your voice message to you as an attachment. It's meant as a voicemail/fax-to-email service, but it works fine for personal messages.
EVEN BETTER way to create voice memos
I tried the K7 service and couldn't get it to work. Not sure why. But just a small warning; within a week I received an unsolicited fax. Great; spam faxes. Just what I need cluttering my inbox. I terminated my account. |
