Xfinity Readable Voicemail

I got a service announcement email from Xfinity the other day that they added a new feature to their voice phone service called Readable Voicemail.  It basically takes a voicemail that has been left, converts it to text and sends it to you in an email message.

To enable this feature:

  1. Sign in to XFINITY Connect
  2. Click on the Email button
  3. Click on the Preferences tab in the top navigation bar
  4. Click 'Notifications' from the Preferences box on the left
  5. Input your email address into the email notification box
  6. Check 'Send transcripts via email'
The first time I tested it it sent me an email saying that the audio quality was to low to convert but it has been working pretty good since then.  You also can have the emails sent to multiple addresses.  Pretty cool.
