According to Business Insider (http://tinyurl.com/ov74gye), Apple employees are testing a voicemail service that uses Siri — the company’s “personal assistant” on iOS devices — to answer your calls and transcribe voicemail messages.
Apple’s iCloud service will then send you the text of the transcribed voicemail. This means you’ll never need to listen to your voicemails again, says Business Insider, which says the new service is being prepared for launch in 2016.
According to the article, this is how it will work: When someone using iCloud Voicemail is unable to take a call, Siri will answer instead of letting the call go to a standard digital audio recorder. iCloud Voicemail can relay information about where you are and why you can’t pick up the phone to certain people. Siri will transcribe any incoming voicemails.
