OK but, how it works without training?  Perhaps
it works at 75% of the times.  It can be enough for
me.

BTW, if I receive many voice mail from the same 
people, I can train the speech recognition software
with those messages.

An idea: With mailcap we can have 2 entries:

audio/wav; catwav %s
audio/wav; catwav -dump %s; copiousoutput

The first is for training the software.  The more I
train the software, the better it will work.  The
second entry is for auto_view.

Notes: "catwav" is a ficticious speech recognition program.
"catwav -dump" works like "lynx -dump", you know ;-)

Is it still sci-fi?

Yes.  It's a good suggestion.
