Google Voice - The Transcripts

[Voodoo]

I'm an avid user of Google Voice and there are times that it does a remarkable job in transcription but then there are other times... Case in point:

"Yes, Hi Clayton, it's Paul Parker, Greg point. How are you. I'm just trying to follow up and find out if you had a chance to look at the email sent by Soviets and to get your feedback inputs when you get a chance. Gimme a call ###-###-####. Look forward to hearing from you soon. I hope you having a good day. Thanks. Bye"

[Dukefrukem]

I'ts not perfect, but if you're in a situation where you don't have service, but access to your e-mail, you can get the jist of the call.

[Dukefrukem]

This is a great one from one of my buddies... if there's background noise, forget about it. BTw, my buddies name is not Jeff and none of the numbers he mentions here are accurate.

"And if so. It's Jeff it. My address is 112. His in the old Bad Boy Records Group 112th 112. Late sure road to work done for lake shore. Mike electrode frighten mass 02135054, yeah, just give me. Gimme a shout if you get lots of days. I guess. And if you're kind of small if you get on the Pike and exit 17 out the place at the you know what a contact it, and I'm out of my house in there but yet anyway. Give me a ring if you would be, and pretty much anytime after 6:30. That's cool I guess what you're going on the estimate that you think you might be there and if they don't pull back a little bit of a cool and I guess most of my place to do that yet. Yeah, I'll talk to later then AST".

Mike electrode frighten mass 02135054

This my be the coolest phrase ever recorded in the English language.

[Dukefrukem]

LOL. i like this one myself:

"His in the old Bad Boy Records Group 112th 112"

There's a traitor in our midst. Maybe also a time traveller.

BTw, my buddies name is not Jeff and none of the numbers he mentions here are accurate.

"And if so. It's Jeff it..."

No, clearly his name is "Jeff it". But only conditionally.

[Jeffool]

From a voicemail left by a cousin whose name is neither Gary nor Wash. He called to ask about a group of us all going out to lunch that day.Hi Jeff, Bridges, This is Gary wash. I'm leaving you a message after the Beep today. Go ahead and all, but others and order Mann Foundation, breaded mile bridge addresses, and I'm doing that, so we could get away to that, yeah.That was months ago. We still occasionally refer to our regularly Wednesday lunch as "a meeting of the Mann Foundation," given there's five of us, and we're all guys.

And nothing in this one remotely resembles the truth of the matter aside from "This is Mom, just wanted to:" Thank you. This is Mom, Just wanted to let this miss you and Beijing history. What's for sale and I am. It's best to my over here and pick up this is the doctor that I thought it was a woman so and I'll talk to my were hearing get it. So if I don't know if it's a when you get a of the details for zero fast lesbians. Bye bye.

[J Arcane]

"zero fast lesbians".

Awesome.

[boratika]

"zero fast lesbians".

Awesome.

Always an awkward topic to talk to you mother about.

[Jeffool]

There is one that's fucking impeccable every time I get it, though: Hey this is American Education Services calling about an important matter, please contact us with 48 hours at 1(800) 649-6823 Office hours are Monday through Friday 8 AM to 9 PM. E. The standard time again. Our number is 1(800) 649-6823. Thank you.

[J Arcane]

Ugh. don't remind me that I've got that horror to look forward to in 6-8 years.

[Kelegacy]

I am at work and trying not to laugh so hard I'm shaking with tears in my eyes. I still let out a few hoarse wheezes that were restrained laughs.

This is hilarious stuff. I read jeffools and lost it. When I got to the part of "what's for sale and I am," it was over.

[Voodoo]

Damn it! Am I that obvious?! Fuckin' shit!

[Inspector Fowler]

This all reads a little like Metal Gear Solid dialogue. Perhaps we've discovered the secret to the bizarre twists and turns of that franchise.

[destoo]

Damn. This is one thing I forgot to do while I was on your side of the border. Google still won't let me register even if I have an invite. "We don't accept canucks. Go home".

[Inspector Fowler]

Damn. This is one thing I forgot to do while I was on your side of the border. Google still won't let me register even if I have an invite. "We don't accept canucks. Go home".

Well, think about it - if the translations are this bad now, think about how hard this thing is going to have to work for that messed up Canadian language!

[benson]

I like Google Voice. I really only use it as my voicemail box though. I signed up before you could carry your number over, so my Voice account has a separate number. I guess I could do the whole tell all my friends and family and coworkers my new number and stuff, but I've had my cell number for like 7 or 8 years now, and don't really feel like changing it.

Anyway, some of these are hilarious. I get some really bad translations as well, but occasionally they are perfect. I just don't get it. Either way though, I like being able to listen to them on the internet, and through my phone. And emailing and texting a transcript is very convenient as well. Great service, hopefully it'll improve.

[Jeffool]

I'm in the same boat, benson. But I do give new people I meet to use my Gnumber. I get the most use out of it for texting, to be honest.

[J Arcane]

I used it for a while to get around lack of phone service, but switched off once I got real service on my G1 because I was frustrated with the delays in calls and receiving messages.

Now I'm thinking of switching back to using it again, because the number's easier to remember, and it'll mean still being able to get messages when I'm in some of these basement classrooms where I only get WiFi.

Although I also run into the problem there of the N1 insisting on turning off my WiFi whenever it's in sleep, so I have to re log in through the web gateway everytime I turn on my phone.

[The Doctor]

Google Voice for Android was updated a couple months ago to add much better synchronization with your inbox; those delays in receiving messages should be mostly gone.

[bapenguin]

We have a system I wrote at work that sends notifications out to users. If they choose they can get the notification as a voice message on their phone. So it goes from text to voice first.

Well I got the message on my google voice account which put it back from voice->text.

Text-Voice->Text = Hilarity

If you think these are funny you need to turn on the subtitles option on You Tube, same kind of shit but much worse and very funny.

[The Doctor]

This is from my dad. He was never one for enunciating, so Google Voice does an amusingly hilarious job of transcripting his messages.

tony it's your dad it's about little bit after 4 we stop by and drop your clothes all your honor your sanity you anarchy control show okay we love you buddy bye byep

[Suave Peanut]

Here's one from my grandmother:
Around this evening. The after that. The deal's her and of the Are they still repair service yesterday if you wanna come by and get some comments.

Translation:
Ryan, this is Nanny. I forgot to give her a jar of the strawberry preserves yesterday. If you wanna come by and get some, call me.

[Expugnare]

I got this one from my dad a couple days ago:
Hey there, It's me. I was just wondering 1 o'clock through on your landlord your Monterey give me a call back ass. Thanks Dan. Bye for now. Yes.
Translation:
Hey Evan, it's me. I was just wondering, since it's 1 o'clock, if you are on your way home or it you need a ride or anything. Give me a call back when you get the message. Thanks and bye for now.
