Voice Google in: The Chronicles of Ridiculous

(1/5) > >>

KvP:
So as per the instructions of one Paul F. Tompkins, I have started using Google Voice with my phone. And it's a huge hassle!

BUT

When someone leaves you a voicemail, it will email you an incredibly mangled "transcript" of the message. They are very humorous! If you're not opposed to the fun, give it a shot. You can call me if you like (if you don't already have my #, check Facebook or PM) and I will post the transcripts, or you can do it yourself if you're so inclined.

Here is the Google Voice translation of the back cover blurb on my edition of Marcuse's The One-Dimensional Man:

I move that the title of this thread be changed to The Chronicles of Ridiculous, starring Voice Google.

Basically I never listen to voicemail anymore because the Voice texts I get are too entertaining.

Of course there's a Tumblr for this already.

They use the same technology to create captions for Youtube videos with similar accuracy.  I went to a seminar hosted by 2 local professors who are working on solutions to the  captioning of online videos since right now your options are Google's auto-caption, or to create your own captioning file which few people will bother doing.  The Google ones are so bad I can't believe they even offer them.
