What is voicemail transcription?
Voicemail transcription converts a recorded voicemail into text so you can read it instead of listening. TalkerIQ also adds an AI summary, attaches the message to the caller's record, and can notify the right teammate or text the caller back automatically.

- Owner
- Assigned to a person or team, with alerts

“My AC is leaking, can someone come Monday?” — transcribed and summarised as an urgent repair.
- Text-back goes out
An automatic business text confirms the message was received and offers Monday slots.
- Owner assigned
Dispatch sees the summary in the shared team inbox, already tagged and assigned.

FAQ
Questions about voicemail
Still unsure? Talk to our team.
Reviewed by the TalkerIQ product team · Updated
Are voicemails transcribed automatically?
Yes. Every voicemail is transcribed and summarised, and attached to the caller's contact record.
Can a team share one voicemail box?
Yes. Team voicemail can be assigned to a group, with notifications so the right people see new messages.
Can I set different greetings for after hours?
Yes. Greetings can follow your business-hours schedule, holidays and closures.
Can an AI agent answer instead of voicemail?
Yes. Many teams route after-hours and overflow calls to an AI agent, which answers questions, books appointments, takes messages and escalates urgent calls.
How accurate is voicemail transcription?
Transcription is highly accurate for clear audio and common accents, and every transcript keeps the original recording so you can listen to anything unclear. Accuracy can drop with heavy background noise.
Can voicemails be sent to email or the CRM?
Yes. Voicemail notifications can go to email and the app, and each voicemail, transcript and summary is attached to the caller's record and synced to supported CRMs.
