Composing an Email

If you have subscribed to Voicemail to Text transcription, you can compose an email message just by speaking into your phone.

Before You Begin

Before you can compose an email message in Visual Voicemail, you must configure your phone to access at least one of your email accounts. If you have not yet done so, this can be accomplished in your email inbox.

(Press your device's Home button and tap to open your email inbox.)

Composing an Email

Follow these steps to compose an email:

1.   From your voicemail Inbox, tap the Compose menu option . You will now be prompted to select the type of message to compose.

2.   Select Transcribe to Email. An on-screen prompt to "Speak now" appears.

Note: This option will appear only if you have subscribed to Voicemail-to-Text transcription. It will not be available otherwise.

3.   Speak the message that you wish to email. When you have finished speaking, the Visual Voicemail application will ask you whether you want to send the email via Gmail or via another type of email account.

4.   Select the type of account you wish to use. The email composition screen appears. The text of your transcribed message will be pre-populated in the body of the message.

5.   If you want to make any changes to the transcription prior to sending, tap the transcribed text and use the on-screen keyboard to make any desired changes.

6.   If you want to add a subject line to the email, tap the Subject box and use the on-screen keyboard to enter the subject.

7.   To specify the recipient of the text message, do one of the following:

●   Tap the To field and then use the on-screen keyboard to enter the phone number of the mobile phone to which you wish to send the text message.

●  Select a contact from your contact book.

Note: You can also cc (copy) or bcc (blind copy) recipients. Press your device's Menu button and select the Show Cc/Bcc option. This adds Cc and Bcc boxes below the To box.

8.   When you are finished making changes to this screen, tap Send to send the email.
