Activating voicemail transcription

Raise your hand if you never get around to listening to your voicemails.

Sound familiar? Don’t feel too bad; we all do it. Catching up on your voicemail messages is often overtaken by tasks that feel more pressing simply because they have higher visibility – emails, meetings, incoming calls and face-to-face chats. Managing your voicemail seems like something you can easily fit between “proper” tasks, but it takes just that bit too long to do when you’re in a rush; dialing your voicemail, waiting to be connected, pressing “1 for new messages” and so on – not to mention dealing with bad signal and background noise.

We have the solution. Moneypenny’s voicemail transcription service removes the hassle and automatically translates your voicemails into messages. Once transcribed, messages are sent straight to your app, and can be read with ease at the same pace as your other correspondence.

Voicemail transcription allows you to prioritise messages and improve efficiency. To activate the voicemail transcription setting, follow the instructions below;

1. Open the Moneypenny app. At the bottom of the screen you’ll see a ‘Settings’ icon – tap this

2. Scroll down until you reach the ‘Voicemail’ tab and tap on the ‘Voicemail transcription settings’ option

3. Tap into the ‘Turn On/Turn Off’ tab

To finish, follow the relevant instructions for the device you’re using;
