Overview
By default, YouMail adds a short prompt to your voicemail greeting that says, “Please speak clearly. Your voicemail is being transcribed by YouMail.” This helps improve transcription accuracy, but you can disable it if you prefer a shorter or more professional greeting. This guide shows you how to turn it off on Android, iPhone, and the web.
Key benefits
Cleaner voicemail greeting: Remove extra messaging from your greeting
