We show you how to forward unanswered calls to Google Voice and have transcripts of your voicemails delivered via email or SMS

Published on Jun 10, 2010

Google Voice provides a wide variety of functions to users, but many people aren't looking to take advantage of all the features Google Voice affords.

Even if simultaneous ringing and free SMS don't appeal to you, Google Voice can still be used as a great replacement for your carrier's standard voicemail system. What's more, Google Voice offers a free voicemail transcription service that uses voice-to-text to transcribe messages. Voicemail transcriptions can then be delivered to you via email or SMS.

In this guide, we show you how to set up Google Voice voicemail on your iPhone 4 and configure the attached voicemail transcription service.

Activate Google Voice voicemail on your iPhone 4

1. Log in to the Google Voice website and click Settings in the top right corner
2. Locate the phone you wish to activate voicemail for and click Activate Google voicemail on this phone
3. On your iPhone 3GS, dial *004*xxx-xxx-xxxx# (where xxx-xxx-xxxx is your Google Voice phone number) and press Call
4. A forwarding confirmation will be displayed on your screen
5. On the Google Voice website, click Done

Configure voicemail transcriptions and delivery

1. Log in to the Google Voice website and click Settings in the top right corner
2. Click on the Voicemail & SMS tab
3. Next to "Voicemail Notifications", check the box next to Email the message to and select an email address to receive your voicemail transcriptions via email
4. Beneath "Send a text (SMS) message to", check the box next to each cell phone on which you want to receive SMS voicemail transcriptions
5. Next to Voicemail Transcripts, check the box next to Transcribe Voicemails
6. Click the Save Changes button at the bottom of the screen

That's it! Google Voice will now replace your AT&T voicemail, and it will deliver transcriptions of each message via email or SMS.

If at any point you wish to deactivate Google Voice voicemail, simply dial #002#on your iPhone 3GS and press Call. This will deactivate all call forwarding and the iPhone 4 will use the standard AT&T voicemail system once again.

HDBaseT 1.0 Spec Finalized

The HDBaseT Alliance recently announced the finalization of its first specification for distribution of HD video over standard LAN cabling.

The HDBaseT 1.0 base specification aims to distribute uncompressed HD video, audio, 100 Mbps Ethernet, power and control over standard CAT 5e/6 Ethernet cabling.

The Alliance claims that HDBaseT has the bandwidth to support full HD 1080p as well as 3D and 2Kx4K formats. A spec comparison chart listed a bandwidth of up to 10.2 Gbps, 100m maximum cable length and up to 100W of power available for devices. The chart also said bandwidth is scalable to 20 Gbps and up to 8 network hops can be supported. USB support is also mentioned.

Development and preparation of an HDBaseT Alliance Compliance Program is currently underway and first HDBaseT products are expected in the second half of this year, when spec licensing is also expected to be available.

The Alliance was founded by LG Electronics, Samsung Electronics, Sony Pictures Entertainment and Valens Semiconductor in December 2009.

I think this is a great idea because there should be some sort of a formal spec to streaming HD over the LAN. I am not sure about the claim of using CAT5e/6 to transmit 100W of power to the distant devices though. The claim is I can power a device that is up to 100meters away with a typical CAT5e/6 cable. I know that the existing technology of  Power over Ethernet can do this, but PoE can transfer low wattages to low-power devices like switches and routers which needs a typical 10W of power, but 100W is a lot more juice to push through.  The Ethernet cable is not built for carrying so much energy. The proof is by looking at a typical power cable which is thick with insulation. This is especially true when these cables are long.
