First things first, check if the built-in voicemail app on your Android has a transcription service. If so, give this a go. It might work well enough for you, or you might find that the transcription is highly inaccurate and confusing to read.

Your other option is to use a third-party audio transcription service like Transcribe. All you have to do is upload your voicemail to the Transcribe online editor, and you'll receive a clear and accurate voicemail transcription in a matter of minutes - if not seconds.

1. Download your voicemail

Go to your Android voicemails and find the voicemail you want to transcribe. Tap (or in some cases, tap and hold) the message you want to save. In the menu that appears, look for options like 'Save', 'Export', or 'Archive' - the wording will vary between Android phones.

2. Open Transcribe.com

3. Upload the voicemail to Transcribe

4. Choose your language

Select the language of your voicemail from more than 120 languages and dialects.

5. Start the transcription process

Your Android voicemail transcription will be ready in a matter of minutes - if not seconds.

6. Your transcription is ready!

You can now read your Android voicemail as text. If you want, you can also export the file to TXT, PDF, DOCX, SRT or JPG.

Download the Transcribe app or launch the online editor to get started.
