Secretarial Services

How about a voice mail transcription service? You need something written down, but you don't want to write it yourself, so you call a transcription service and leave a voice mail. They listen to your recording, type up the message, optionally edit it, address it, and send it on its' way. The could send it via fax, email, or even print it and send it via regular mail. Of course they would need your credit card number, and it would not be cheap, but I think there could be a demand for a service like this. I have been kicking this idea around for a while and I think it has merit. Almost no one has a secretary anymore, and more and more people are becoming comfortable with leaving voice mail, and sometimes you need to have something in writing. Lawyers could use it instead of having their own dedicated typists. Shoot, you could even use it for blogging, if you wanted to spend the money. There may be such services available, but I have never come across one.
