Voice Recognition
I subscribe to a free service called CallWave that saves you the minutes charges of calling to your voicemail by setting up your voicemail through your phone number. And since you're obvs in your network, it's a free call. You can also listen to and archive the messages online. The other bonuses of CallWave, if you want to call them that, is that they email and text you a written version of the message. This leads to some hilarious interpretations, but generally you can get the jist of the message. Like, take, the below. A message I just got from my Dad. Relevant portions bolded:
"..how are you we're fine beautiful day I went back to the government tell the just well after pulling over the whole, wine rack on top of me last night mountain broke a bottle of flowers and got a few bruises, but apparently survive and I was telling the drummer colleges why this unusual bruise on my leg and she says, how old are you so listen. I discovered that I wrist amount has 2 versions of our town or my town whatever is you know that great song she wrote, fantastic song, on you to and one of them is was sitting around with Mary Black and name is Lou Harrison someone's living room and doing it and the other is her just singing it and the sound quality on her just individual thing is so wonderful plus they print the words out and as you know as you probably know, the worse or absolutely incredible, so epp I'm it's just like there's so many, great things don't you too and you just kind of discover, you know by following a trail and I hadn't. I've got an Irish demand CD, but it doesn't - I don't think have our town on it and somewhat if you would do me a favor, if you don't know that's they'll listen to it so we can talk about it and if you do go listen to it you've big old earlier, OK now I'm going to go over and play with my cats so I have to prioritize and get off the phone with humans, love you oh here's real good news in case Matt hadn't told you Donnie was accepted it sent Johnson Annapolis so is he said now I don't have to apply that 12 or 15 schools make sure I get in one you know I can apply to the you know 5 or so that I'm really interested in and relax you know, so that was great news, love you so much really like."
