Google Voice Doesn't Understand You
Invariably, it does a poor job of this.
Voicemail I received on Sunday, transcribed by ME:
"Yo! It's your buddy Nick callin'. Uhhh, Happy Mother's Day. I was just calling to wish you a Happy Mother's Day. All right, uhh, cool. I'll talk to you later. Bye."
The same voicemail, transcribed by GOOGLE VOICE:
"Yo. It's your buddy Nick. Call length, I have to move this thing. I was just calling to wish you Happy Birthday. So alright school. I'll talk to you later. Bye."
Let's break down where it got confused.
Nick callin' was translated as Nick call length
Uhhh, Happy Mother's Day was translated as I have to move this thing.
Happy Mother's Day was translated as Happy Birthday. (The computer doesn't seem to understand the concept of motherhood.)
uhh, cool turned into school.
All in all, this isn't the worst example of its efforts.
[I should really think about calling Nick back at some point.]

Actually google voice got it right. I just mumble a lot when I talk.
Why are you defending GV? You're afraid of GOOGLE, aren't you! AREN'T YOU!!!
*obviously* GV also lost Nick's message wishing me a Happy Mother's Day too...I mean, we did watch Finding Nemo together after all...
Finding Nemo is like THE Mother's Day movie! Dis-re-spect!
