Voice message processors are configured to produce text representations of voice messages. The text representations can be compacted based on one or more abbreviation libraries or rule libraries. Abbreviation processing can be applied to produce a compact text representation based on display properties of a destination device or to enhance user perception. Text representation length can be reduced based on abbreviations in a standard abbreviation list, a user specific abbreviation list, or a combination of standard and custom lists. In some examples, text length is shortened based on stored rules. Mobile stations are configured to receive text representations of voice messages and request delivery of the associated voice messages based on message identifiers or message availability indicators that are presented on mobile station display. Network elements comprise a voice message processor and are configured to produce text representations and deliver text representation or voice messages based as requested by message recipients.
