I use it to send myself email notes and reminders with my cell phone and if the transcriptions are quite droll you have the actual audio embedded in the email so you just click on it to listen. One of the really nice things google voice does is give you a phone number you can give out without fear because it's so easy to filter out spam and other obnoxious callers.

But the audio, thankfully, was much better. I have a Southern accent. Imagine the possibilities of translations.<br><br>(@TheRealBeth) I had a Twitter friend, who's Pakistani, call my number to test it when I finally received the invite.
