Send Your Google Voice Transcript to Email
If you have a phone, chances are good that you have been followed by at least a few spam calls and text messages – perhaps more than a few. To address this issue, carriers have started blocking some spam calls and text messages by default. Unfortunately, this blocking has also started to affect some of the Google Voice transcripts, The Verge reports .
Google is offering Google Voice customers a feature that allows them to send a transcribed voicemail via email or SMS. As many of these transcripts became transcripts of robot calls, voice messages began to be marked as spam. This means that if you receive SMS transcripts, they may not arrive at all.
Google has started disabling the SMS feature for Google Voice (I don’t even have a switcher), but if you want to get ahead of the curve, you can switch your preference to email now.
If you don’t, this feature will be disabled for you later this week. Google said it plans to complete the discontinuation of the Receive Voicemail via Message feature by August 9th.
Google Voice users will still be able to receive transcripts of their voice messages via email and through the Google Voice apps and website.
