I use it to send myself email notes and reminders with my cell phone and if the transcriptions are quite droll you have the actual audio embedded in the email so you just click on it to listen. One of the really nice things google voice does is give you a phone number you can give out without fear because it's so easy to filter out spam and other obnoxious callers.</p>rfreeman77Sun, 16 Aug 2009 23:40:48 -0000http://eddie.com/2009/07/23/google-voice-translates-the-fedex-guy/#comment-13958343<p>I had a Twitter friend, who's Pakistani, call my number to test it when I finally received the invite. When I read the text translation- my first thought was-WTF is Google doing? Forcing us to decode? The message had phrases such as,'meet Marcia in the lobby, lunch for fun--" you get the idea. But the audio, thankfully, was much better. I have a Southern accent. Imagine the possibilities of translations.</p><p>(@TheRealBeth)</p>BethTue, 04 Aug 2009 23:30:03 -0000
