Voicemail transcription is one of the things I'm looking forward to in Exchange 2010.
Then I can dump emailing from a smartphone and send voice recordings instead - without the listener having to listen to my voice recording. Best of both worlds.
Also - there's a link to "robotic voicemail woman wastes our time" which is an article with a clickable audio link in it. But it's not an embedded player, it's a popup window which loads another page which has an embedded player which starts by playing an advert for ... the site it's on!
Followed by a rant about how it's unneccesary for a voicemail system to tell us it's a voicemail system. Well maybe it's no easier for people to change their company voicemail system than it is for you to change your podcast introduction to remove the redundant message that we're listening to your podcast system!
