Google Voice FAIL
Okay, so if you know me or even if we’ve passed on the same side of the street you know how much I love Google Voice. I talk about it all the time to nearly everyone I meet.
All the features, all the tools, it’s just brilliant. One of my favorite is the transcribing of voicemail. Google will transcribe the message and provide you the text version as well as the ability to listen of course. This is great and I use it all the time, if I can’t get to the call I can have the voicemail text sent to my cell as a text message.
And while it is very impressive and for the most part mostly accurate there are the occasional mis-translations. My wife in particular seems to not just confuse me but Google as well. Here is a screenshot of the message she left…
I was wearing a smile the whole time until I got to ’so poker’ and ‘i’m gonna give me a call’ and then I couldn’t contain the laughter.
