Does anyone know of any privacy-oriented voicemail clients for Android that transcribe messages?

(If this isn't the best place to post this, please let me know!)

I've looked for this off and on over the years and haven't found anything I really liked. The closest I came to it was Youmail. It isn't an open source app, which is a bummer, but it seems to be a (at least sort of) privacy respecting company. I remember reading their privacy policy at one point and not seeing anything terrible in it.

Thank you, the 20 transcriptions allowed per month is more than enough for me. It is unfortunate that it's not open at all, but it is what it is, I suppose.

I use youmail free too. I doubt it's very privacy respecting, but it does the trick for the few voicemails I get.

I built my own a while back using twilio and my own android app, but gave up on it, can't remember why exactly anymore.
