Signs of Voicemail Transcription Issues
Recognizing voicemail transcription problems early can help you address them quickly. Look out for these signs:
No transcription text appearing in voicemail notifications
Transcriptions suddenly stopping across multiple phone numbers or instances
Noticing that transcriptions were present before but are now missing
If you experience any of these issues, it's time to investigate further and potentially contact technical support.
Common Causes of Transcription Failures
Voicemail transcription issues often stem from backend system problems. In such cases, a system-wide issue may temporarily prevent transcriptions from being generated. When these problems arise, Ringover's technical support team investigates and works to resolve the underlying cause..
Troubleshooting Steps
Before contacting support, try these troubleshooting steps:
Verify that transcription is turned on for your account
Check that the specific IVR voicemail transcription setting is enabled
If issues persist, collect the specific call IDs of the voicemails without transcriptions
Confirm that the audio message is still accessible
Try reloading or restarting your dashboard
Check if it's a widespread issue by consulting other team members

If you're still experiencing issues after troubleshooting, contact Ringover's technical support. When reporting the problem:
Provide specific Call IDs to help investigate the problem
