The Decline of Voice Mail
語音信箱功能隕落
It wasn’t long ago that voice mail was considered a convenient feature that you could add to your home phone service in place of an answering machine. Today, this service is on the decline and is often considered inconvenient or even impolite. This is because retrieving voice mail is more time consuming than reading a text message or email. In addition, most mobile phone plans only offer minimal storage for voice mail, which causes a person’s inbox to fill up very quickly. Many people no longer use a landline in their home or office, and mobile phone users admit it often takes 24 hours or more before they check their voice mail. Tech experts say that if more phone service providers begin offering voice-to-text features, they may save voice mail from completely dying out.
不久之前，語音信箱功能還被人們認為是快捷的手機功能服務，它就像是一個答錄機。如今，這一服務正在隕落，被人們認為是不方便，甚至是不禮貌的。這是因為找回語音信箱比讀短信或是電子郵箱更費時。此外，絕大部分手機只為語音信箱提供了最少的存儲量，這將導致用戶的收件箱迅速滿額。許多人已經不在家中或是在辦公室使用固話，手機用戶稱在檢查語音信箱之前都要花費24小時或是更多的時間。技術專家稱如果大量手機服務供應商開始提供語音轉文本功能，那么他們就將避免該服務的消失。
