What I believe he means is like the google transcription service, where
a voicemail can be transcribed to text so it can be sent as an email and
read instead of a sound file attached and listened to.

Automated software does not do that good of a job with very large word
dictionaries, as evidenced by this article

The best way, although it may be slightly more expensive (pennies per
message) would be to have live humans do it.  Some people have privacy
issues over that though, since that implicitly requires someone else to
listen.
