Wow. What was the actual message? - Michael R. Bernstein

I love Google Voice, but the transcription skills are uh lacking - Bryan R. Adams

Hillarious :-) - Shahaf Abileah

Yeah their transcriptions are atrocious - LANjackal

I've found them to be just awful or spot-on. Then again, I've seen the same with Gmail's spam filter. Some accounts are terrific at blocking spam and others are pretty bad. - Kevin Fox

It's fascinating what comes out of statistical learning when something goes wrong. I just got a transcription that said "Hi. See you later." The audio was just a couple of clicks. But those phrases make sense statistically, if you assume the caller must have said *something*. The good news is that it will most likely get a *lot* better over time, as more training data becomes available. - Joel Webber

Joel: sounds like a pretty accurate translation to me. - Jim Norris

Secret lover trying to spit it out - Will Higgins™

"Please take your name off your phone number, my wife went through my messages. I'm in deep doo doo" - Bryan R. Adams

lol lol lol lol *BREATHE* lol lol LOL LOL - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)

Don't forget to donate bad voicemail transcriptions: http://googlevoiceblog.blogspot.com/2009... Given that Google Voice respects your privacy, providing voicemails as training data has to be an opt-in decision. - Matt Cutts
