# Configure AI Voicemail Transcription

AI (artificial intelligence) voicemail transcription converts the recordings left in your mailbox into text you can skim, search, and act on without listening to the audio. You control how it behaves from the Cloud Voice App on your phone, and any change you make is applied to every device where you use Cloud Voice.

## Before you start

Make sure the following are in place:

**Phone system**

- The Cloud Voice platform is running release `84.19.0.110` or later.
- Your administrator has turned on AI Voicemail Transcription and granted your extension permission to use it.

**Cloud Voice App**

Your app is on at least the version listed for your device:

- iOS: 5.16.6 or later
- Android: 5.16.10 or later

## Configure your transcription settings

1. On the **Calls** page, tap your account in the top-left corner.
2. Open **Settings > AI**.
3. Under **Voicemail Transcription**, adjust the options to suit how you want messages handled.

   | Setting | What it does |
   | --- | --- |
   | Voicemail Transcription | Controls whether new voicemails are transcribed automatically. It is on by default. Switch it off if you would rather transcribe individual messages by hand only when you want the text. |
   | Language | Sets the language your voicemails are transcribed into. |
   | Languages to Auto-Detect | Chooses which languages the system tries to recognize automatically, transcribing each message in whichever selected language it hears. |

   :::note
   - **Languages to Auto-Detect** appears only when **Language** is set to **Auto Detection** and your administrator has enabled it on the phone system.
   - You can pick up to five languages for auto-detection at once.
   - Each language is limited to a single region. For example, you cannot choose both English (UK) and English (US).
   :::

4. Tap **Done** in the top-right corner.

## What happens next

- New voicemails are turned into text in the language you chose, either automatically or on demand. A transcribed message carries an AI badge ![AI transcription badge](/images/pbx/ai-logo.png); tap the transcription icon ![View transcription](/images/pbx/transcription.png) to read the text.

  :::note
  Messages left in a group voicemail set to **Shared by Members** mode use the phone system's global transcription language rather than your personal setting.

- To clean up a transcript, tap the edit icon ![Edit transcription](/images/pbx/edit-web-fill.png) and adjust the text. This is handy for fixing names, clarifying details, or adding a note for later.
