↓ Watch what comes out

Carrier audio in. Searchable text out.

Voicemail is single-speaker narrow-band audio — usually 8 kHz, often with traffic or wind behind it. We tune the recognizer for short, telephony-band recordings so callbacks and numbers actually land.

Three real options · honest comparison

Google Voice built-in. YouMail. Or us.

Specific to voicemail

Three things that bite people on generic transcription tools.

Voicemail isn't a meeting. The defaults that work for podcasts will mangle a 30-second callback.

What goes wrong

  1. 1Phone numbers spoken fast get transcribed as words ("four one five five five five oh one eight eight") instead of formatted digits — useless for CRM paste.
  2. 2Caller names are mumbled once at the start. Generic models miss the spelling and the rest of the message has no anchor.
  3. 3AMR / OGG files from IP-PBX systems get rejected outright by tools built around MP4 podcast audio.

What to flip here

  1. 1Turn on Phone number formatting in the job form. We normalize digits into E.164 (+14155550188) and a readable local format in the same line.
  2. 2Paste likely caller names and your company terms into Custom vocabulary. Even a 10-name list dramatically lifts proper-noun recall on short audio.
  3. 3Drop the file as-is. We accept WAV, MP3, OGG, AMR, M4A, FLAC, μ-law, A-law — no transcoding step needed.

Recommended job settings for voicemail

Upload a voicemail file and these flip on by default. Override per-job from the form.

Accuracy · real-world numbers

92% on clean VoIP. Holds up on PSTN landline too.

Voicemail is the hardest audio we see — 8 kHz narrow-band, single mic, often with road or café noise. These numbers are from real customer voicemail batches in production, not curated samples.

92%
Google Voice / Teams Phone MP3

Wideband 16 kHz capture, MP3 at 64 kbps+. Quiet indoor caller. Numbers and proper nouns land cleanly.

89%
Twilio / RingCentral WAV

Standard 8 kHz μ-law VoIP recording. Most business voicemail lands here. Phone numbers normalize correctly.

83%
Mobile carrier OGG / AMR

AMR-NB at 4.75–12.2 kbps from IP-PBX or carrier visual voicemail. Compression artifacts on sibilants and digits.

76%
PSTN landline, background noise

Older copper line, caller in a car or on speakerphone. Words usable, occasional misses on numbers and names.

Common questions

8 things people ask about voicemail transcription.

01Can you pull voicemails directly from Google Voice or Gmail?+
Not via API — Google doesn't expose voicemail audio that way. Download the MP3 attachment from the notification email, or use Google Voice's per-message download. Drop the file in our dashboard or batch-upload a folder.
02Do you support AMR files from old IP-PBX systems?+
Yes. AMR-NB and AMR-WB both work, along with WAV (μ-law, A-law, PCM), MP3, OGG, M4A, and FLAC. We handle the codec internally — no need to transcode to WAV first.
03Will phone numbers in the message be formatted correctly?+
Yes, when Phone number formatting is on. We detect spoken digits and output both E.164 (+14155550188) and a readable local format on the same line. Works in 40+ country dialing conventions.
04How do you handle very short messages — under 10 seconds?+
Fine. There's no minimum length. Sub-10-second messages bill at our 6-second floor ($0.003 per file). Accuracy holds because the model isn't waiting for context — voicemail is a monologue, not a conversation.
05What about Spanish or multilingual voicemails?+
Auto-detect runs across 100+ languages and picks the dominant one. For voicemails that switch mid-message (English greeting, Spanish body) toggle multilingual mode — we transcribe both segments in their own language without forcing one.
06Can I bulk upload 200 voicemails at once?+
Yes. Drag a folder into the dashboard or POST to our batch endpoint. Jobs run in parallel, you get a CSV index back with filename, language, duration, and a link to each transcript. No per-batch surcharge.
07Can transcripts be pushed straight into HubSpot or Salesforce?+
We don't ship a direct CRM connector yet. The JSON export includes caller ID (if you pass it in metadata), formatted phone numbers, and the full transcript — most teams pipe it through Zapier or a 20-line script to their CRM contact record.
08Voicemails often contain PII or medical info — how do you handle it?+
Source audio is permanently deleted within 24 hours. Transcripts live in your dashboard until you delete them. We're not a HIPAA Business Associate today — if you need a signed BAA, talk to us before uploading PHI.
