As a followup to What is Visual Voicemail, I looked into a recommended service called iDictate. It is a service that transcribes your voicemail into text that is emailed within 24 hours. It costs about a penny a word and there is no time limit.
The best features are that you only pay for what you use, there are no reoccurring fees. Also, it appears a real person reviews the transcription before sending it to you. Hard to spell words and proper names can be submitted to the transcriptionist so they are always spelled correctly.
Could this be too good to be true? I’ll give it several more test runs and let you know!

Augmented Reality (AR) technology merges virtual content with the physical world. Mobile devices can combine knowledge of where you are, what you are doing, and what information you need to augment the physical world around you with content for planning, education, and productivity.
There needs to be an easy way to capture what is said, transcribe it into words, and mind map it automatically. This might seem a little far fetched, but there are many time-saving benefits. This could be possible through a linked system using Requal > Evernote > Curio applications. Evernote has an API that syncs with Curio, and Requal can sync with Evernote. However, more research will be required to see if Curio could map something on-the-fly. Curio – Mind Mapping, Brainstorming, and Project Management Software
