The most useful feature of Google Voice to me is the voicemail transcription. It's not perfect, but it's good enough it saves me from having to listen to the voicemail about 90% of the time.

There are plenty of other voip/call forwarding services, but are there any that duplicate that functionality?

This is all that I use Google Voice for. I love having a transcribed voicemail emailed to me, for free. Are there any other options out there? I've noticed lately that the Google Voice app sucks - the UI is unintuitive and is painfully slow to refresh my messages. I'd be happy to switch if there is an alternative.

I’ve used VoiceCloud (http://www.voicecloud.com/) for the last 5+ years. Would not go back to regular must-listen-to-your-3-minutes-of-rambling voicemail for a second!!

It's not what you're looking for necessarily, but I'm a Grasshopper user, and am quite impressed with their voice mail transcription as well.
