Readable voicemail — Xfinity Voice help

Xfinity Voice customers can get transcripts of their voicemail using the readable voicemail feature. This feature:

  • Converts your voicemail to text using automated speech recognition.

Xfinity Voice transcriptions are created by software and are not without errors. Accuracy is affected by:

  • Background noise.
  • Multiple people speaking at once.
  • Call quality.
  • Accented speech.
  • Unfamiliar words or slang.
