I am sorry for the ignorance on the matter, but how does google voice does? Do they also have humans?<br><br>jmesquita<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Aug 11, 2009 at 11:17 AM, Kirk Bateman <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:kirk.bateman@gmail.com">kirk.bateman@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I'm afraid that the answer's still the same: use a human. Here's an<br>

- the links to previous stories at the bottom provide good background.<br>
