AskSia turns iPhone and Android voicemail recordings into accurate text in seconds. Upload an M4A, MP3, or 3GP file from your phone, or send the voicemail to yourself by AirDrop, email, or Messages and drop it into AskSia.

To transcribe a voicemail to text, you save the voicemail recording from your phone as an audio file and upload it to AskSia. iPhone Visual Voicemail saves recordings as M4A. Android voicemail apps (Google Voice, Verizon Visual Voicemail, AT&T Visual Voicemail, Samsung Voicemail) usually save as MP3 or 3GP. AskSia processes the audio with AI speech recognition and returns a timestamped transcript in seconds, ready to translate into more than 40 languages or export as TXT, DOCX, or SRT subtitles. The free plan covers voicemails up to 30 minutes long with no software to install and no credit card required.
Phone-line audio is compressed, sometimes noisy, often spoken quickly, and full of names and numbers. AskSia is built for real-world recordings, not just clean studio audio.
Voicemail recordings are recorded at low bitrate and pass through phone networks before reaching your inbox. AskSia stays accurate on that kind of audio thanks to context-aware processing for names, numbers, and conversational speech, with 95% or higher accuracy on clear voicemail.
Apple Visual Voicemail (M4A), Google Voice, Verizon Visual Voicemail, AT&T Visual Voicemail, Samsung Voicemail (MP3, 3GP, AMR). One tool covers every common voicemail format and most carrier apps without conversion.
Once a voicemail is transcribed, the AI assistant Sia can pull out the caller's name, the reason for the call, the callback number, and any deadlines or action items. The transcript turns into a structured summary you can act on.
Voicemails left in another language transcribe in the original and translate at the same time. Useful for multilingual households, international clients, family in other countries, and customer-facing inboxes.
On iPhone, open the Phone app, tap the voicemail, and tap Share to send yourself the M4A file. On Android, use Google Voice or your carrier's voicemail app to share or save the recording, typically as MP3 or 3GP.
Drag the file into the AskSia web app, or upload it from the AskSia mobile app. AskSia detects the source language automatically and accepts M4A, MP3, 3GP, AMR, WAV, and most other audio formats with no conversion.
The voicemail transcript appears with timestamps. Ask Sia for a callback summary or a list of action items, then export the result as TXT, DOCX, or send to Google Docs.
Forward the voicemail to yourself from your phone, drop it into AskSia on your laptop, or upload it directly from the AskSia mobile app. The library syncs everywhere.
Drag a folder of saved voicemails into the AskSia web app and process them one after another. The split-panel layout shows the transcript on one side and the AI chat on the other, useful for triaging callbacks or building a searchable archive of customer messages.
