YouMail Replaces, Transcribes Your Voicemail [Cellphones]

[Field Nurse]

Webapp and voicemail service YouMail replaces your default voicemail with a beefed up, feature-rich alternative. We first featured YouMail for its personalized greeting features, but it's been busy since then, adding visual voicemail, caller filtering, and voice-to-text transcription of messages that it delivers as a text message. The transcription feature—which left beta today—is the only feature that comes with a price.
For $4/month, YouMail will transcribe and text 50 messages to your phone; for $18/month, you can get unlimited conversions. Whether or not you feel like ponying up for the transcription plans, YouMail is still a killer voicemail replacement. Of course, YouMail isn't the only service to offer visual voicemail. Previously mentioned apps like GrandCentral and CallWave offer similar features. In fact, CallWave has their own voice-to-text feature that attempts to send just the gist of a voicemail to your via SMS—a slightly different approach from YouMail's full human transcription.
