Anyone here using it?

Boating related content:

Google Voice can transcribe voicemail into text so that I can read
instead of listen to my messages. This is handy if I'm cruising along
at 30 knots and can't hear my cell phone.


The transcription is horrible if the voice isn't clear. What the
human ear can pick up and interpret is orders of magnitude beyond the
ability of Google's transcription algorithms.


What hand held device are you using?

It is pure GREED that drives government debt.

Do a Google search for voice to check out all the features. So far I
like it. My phone is an older LG, my daughter's old phone and I don't
even know the model. The voice thing a least gives me some new things
to play with without having to buy a new phone.
