[asterisk-users] Is voicemail to text possible?

[Zeeshan Zakaria]

I agree with you regarding offshore human decoding, and wondering if Skype
is doing the same. If you get voicemail converted to text in about 10-20
minute, most probably it is a human listening and typing it. To hire a few
people to do it in some cheap part of the world where they can understand
and write English for a few cents is entirely possible.
