I recommend Google Voice for everyone. Not because it's an amazing tool that helps you keep track of all of your voicemails, or because it sends you text messages and emails if you aren't able to pick up the phone, or even because it has an endless archive like Gmail. But use Google Voice because it attempts to transcribe everything, which is pretty funny.
Usually, it's pretty accurate (actual words in red):

Hey Sarah. It's Colin [Helen], I was just wanted to let you know that we decided not to do. Roy is [Roy's] for Dine about town because they have a prefix menu all year round, so anything about doing lose. [Ruth] Chris is [Chris's] steakhouse.[?] Instead, 3 [we] changed, it's a Thursday night at 7:15 so let me know if you could make it or not the best. The reservation that I'm gonna make instead. So don't go to voicemail [Roy's]. Because we're not gonna be there. Okay. Feel free to call me tomorrow or tonight whenever. Okay bye.
Sometimes it can't figure out that someone just simply forgot to hang up the phone after the beep:

Hello hello hello hello hello.
Sometimes it's a bit inaccurate:

Hey at. Intellion. I'm just sitting on the gym, so if you can't Vegas a home that would be. Sorry it to you later to you later. Let me know. Hey. Yeah, call me back or Yeah. Okay bye.
But there are those times my mother leaves a message in Konglish (Korean+English):
