Why is it that Siri can't take voicemail messages? Seems kind of like a no brainer don't you think?
Better question: Why do we still have voicemail?
Why wouldn't we?
Siri is still Beta.Why is it that Siri can't take voicemail messages? Seems kind of like a no brainer don't you think?
I imagine, "Siri, play my voicemail."I'm not sure I understand what Siri functionality would bring to VM...
Siri is still Beta.
Its been beta for almost two years now. That is a lame excuse. Beta is Apples code word for "we cannot get it to work right".
Yeah, that's what a beta is.
They have a history of calling things beta.
Voicemails should just be transcribed to text and transferred to the messages app

I keep saying this but people don't seem to believe it:
SIRI WILL NEVER GET OUT OF BETA BECAUSE IT IS A CONSTANTLY UPDATING SERVICE.
I'm guessing Google Maps is a beta, too?
Edit: Just realized this is a bonskovsky thread... dough!
While that would be nice I don't think voice recognition is that advanced yet. At least not advanced to be trusted. I have customers that call me and leave voicemails, sometimes I have a hard time understanding them. Haha. Much less a piece of software trying to convert them to text.

Nope. VM isn't a phone feature. It's a carrier (or other VM provider) feature.Why is it that Siri can't take voicemail messages? Seems kind of like a no brainer don't you think?
You can disagree all you want but it's not unique to Apple. Take a look at Google. If you disagree with companies that do this then don't use their products.Sorry I disagree. You do not show case a software as the key selling point of your device or os as beta and then continue to show case it as the greatest thing out there and hide behind the beta excuse when it fails to work or meet consumer expectations.
Beta is fine for teething and fine tuning, even public betas, but two years? Ha ha beta is just an excuse by Apple for not getting it right. They have a history of calling things beta.
That's because it's flawed reasoning. There are plenty of "constantly updating services" that aren't in perpetual beta.I keep saying this but people don't seem to believe it:

It's efficient for me. I rarely have to listen to my GV VM's. It's not necessarily accurate but that depends a lot on the caller.Google Voice transcribes voicemails to text...annnd the results are usually pretty entertaining. While it's usually not too hard to figure out the errors, it's by no means efficient.

Because we have visual voicemail. Why bother calling your voicemail anymore?
Not if you're on an unofficial carrier, like ST. I just have regular voicemail.
