    In reply to Google Voice Now Lets You Keep Your Number While Freeing Your Voicemail From Any Carrier
    My newest brainstorming obsession: Dialing my Google Voice number and using my GV voicemail as a speech-to-text note taker. It's very accurate, and then later I can forward the text portion via gmail or SMS (or copy it into Documents to Go on my G1 for making PDFs), and also save the mp3 of my ramblings for future reference. It may not be what they intended, but it helps to get my thoughts organized. #googlevoicevoicemail

    I tried this when Google Voice came into existence and I didn't like it. It takes WAY too long for the voicemail to actually kick in.

    Is it speedier now? #googlevoicevoicemail

    @jackburnt: I get voicemails within a few seconds of them being left. Also, the text transcriptions are nearly flawless. I Use the official Google Voice app on my G1, with T-Mobile as my carrier. #googlevoicevoicemail

    but there isn't a way to get messages off your existing voicemail that doesn't involve taping them through your microphone port. #googlevoicevoicemail

    @Bs Baldwin: You can save each voicemail as an mp3 via the Google Voice inbox. On my G1 handset the audio portionof the GV voicemail is saved to the SD card in the folder "gv-voicemail" as an mp3 file which can be copied, renamed, sent as an attachment, or edited in an app, etc. #googlevoicevoicemail

    This feature has been available to those who've figured it out on their own for as long as GV has been in existence. This is just Google deciding to legitimize it. #googlevoicevoicemail

    @AqueousBeef: That, and to give people that only want the voicemail feature a way to do it without taking up a phone number they won't use.

    @milrtime83: What I'm saying is that this has been doable the entire time. This isn't Google adding a feature, it's Google publicizing a feature built into every cellphone already. You could just as easily enter your landline number in lieu of your GV and have your calls forwarded to your home voicemail using the same procedure. #googlevoicevoicemail

    @AqueousBeef: Yes, you could always forward missed calls to any number. I was under the impression that what they added was the ability to forward to Google voice without tieing up your own individual GV number. If, in setting this up, they still give you your own individual number then you are correct, it didn't add anything. #googlevoicevoicemail

    this doesn't really do anything. it just has your phone forward all calls to your gv number... you don't actually get voicemail to your phone anymore... #googlevoicevoicemail

    @ihaveabu: No. It reroutes from your carrier's voicemail servers to GV. That way you get a lot of the perks of GV without having to switch your number. #googlevoicevoicemail
