I asked, and received. I am signed up for Google Voice, who now field my voicemails, and send me a transcript via email and SMS, and provide me a natty interface online where I can go and listen to my messages if the button prompts on the actual telephone are too slow for me.
Unfortunately the transcripts are not perfect.
