What is the preview message feature?
This feature uses 'speech to text' technology to transcribe the content of each voicemail message into text. The preview is provided to give you a clue as to the content of the message, and particularly the urgency, which helps you to prioritize your response. For example, if you are in a meeting and can view messages but not immediately listen to them, you can respond accordingly. Later, you can listen to the message to hear the actual content. Best practice is to always listen to the message to hear the actual content. 
Is the speech to text transcription accurate?
The current version of speech to text transcription is significantly improved over prior versions and therefore transcriptions are much more accurate. Speech to text translation is much more difficult than text to speech, given the many variables that it has to overcome. There are a number of factors that contribute to how well the speech is transcribed, from the audio quality of the recording to the speech itself. Low volume or interference on the line can affect it, as well as any accents, mannerisms, or enunciation elements of the person speaking. 
The new Microsoft voicemail system introduces changes over the traditional Unified Messaging (UM) voicemail. Some of these differences are covered below:
Transcription Accuracy
The new Microsoft voicemail we are using offers significantly improved transcription accuracy over Unified Messaging (UM). Consequently, users will receive transcriptions that are more accurate.
Setup Differences
Most users that are migrated to Skype for Business will automatically be setup for voicemail. Users will no longer receive an automated email indicating they have been set up.
Dial-in Access
Previously, Unified Messaging (UM) users had the option of dialing in to review their voicemail messages. This option is no longer available with the new Microsoft voicemail product. Voicemail messages can be previewed in Outlook or in the Skype for Business client.
UM PIN
The UM PIN was used to authenticate dial-in users who wished to preview their voicemail messages. PINs are no longer required since dial-in access is not supported. http://uxlgrv.xtgem.com/Blog/__xtblog_entry/19219704-hr-task-timer-as-simple-as-its-name-1-2#xt_blog.
Call Answering Rules
How To Change Skype PasswordUnified Messaging allowed users to create complex call answering rules. This process has been simplified with the new voicemail, consequently any pre-existing call answering rules are no longer supported. Voicemail users can create new call answering rules at: https://aka.ms/vmsettings
Call Answering Rules OverviewBy default, unanswered Skype for Business phone calls are sent to voicemail, where the caller listens to your greeting and leaves a message if they so desire. Skype for Business Voicemail allow you to create Call Answering Rules, which allow the call to be processed differently when it is received. 
For example, you can:
Not play a greeting and then hang up,
Play a greeting and then hang up,
Play a greeting and then transfer the call, or
Play a greeting and then allow the user to record a message or transfer to a different number
To Change Call Answering Rules:Log into the following website: https://aka.ms/vmsetting
In the 'Call Answering Rules' section, select the desired call answering option:
If you select an option that transfers the call, enter the phone number in the 'Transfer Target' field and then select 'Save'. If the Transfer Target is a University number you may enter the last 5 digits of the number or all 7 digits. For numbers outside the University, enter all 10 digits, including the area code.
