I want to try it out, but for obvious reasons (because Google can) it's invite only :\

I do but I have never really used it. I think newby might as well. I can't see a way to invite people like with the gmail beta or anything though.

I have a competitive product called CallWave.  It's pretty awesome, here's why:

* If I want to screen a call, I send it to my voicemail.  CallWave calls me again (from the originating number) and allows me to hear my voicemail and what the caller is saying.  I can then press 1 to join the call.
* All my voicemails are automatically transcribed and sent to me in a text message and email.
* I also get audio recordings sent to my email.

I pay for it, but it's also been totally worth it.

I have a programming folder, and I have nothing of value there

Running with Code has a new home!

Yeah, I've had GrandCentral for over a year. I don't have the Google Voice thing, though.

Never mind. My account just got upgraded. Sweet. :)

EDIT -- It's just like GrandCentral, but with a Gmail-like interface and text messaging. It's pretty sweet.

As it would turn out, the voice to text does not work. Warrior called me and said,

Quote
Hello and welcome to Google Voice. Besides the existing GrandCentral features, we've added: SMS, Voicemail transcript, Conference calling and low priced international calling. We hope you'll like those features and the new inbox. Thank You.

And it came out,

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

I just upgraded to Google Voice from GrandCentral. They gave me a free dollar!

I really dig it. The interface takes after GMail, and the voicemail transcripts are awsome, even though they don't work perfectly!

Only people who've already got a GrandCentral account are invited. I can't invite you.

I think it is, but users don't have any invites to give out yet.

They hardly work at all. lol.

The default message:

Quote

Warrior repeating this message:

I could never actually legitimately trust or use them!

I did see your OP, newby! :P

My results were not nearly that bad. Maybe Warrior just sucks at speaking?
