Google Voice makes me smile. If you don’t use Google Voice for your voicemail, you’re really missing out. Yes, it has the awesome things that Google products do, but what makes it REALLY shine is the voice translation. They make my day. Here are a couple of samples. Enjoy-

What Google Voice transcribed;

“Hood, morning, This is Gary Crane, South Africa any public schools for any public schools will be closed today, Tuesday February 22nd, Coco employees report at 10 AM. Again, Hartford County PublicSchools will be closed today. Copeland police report at 10 AM. This is Gary crane South African Republic schools.”

What the message actually said;

“Good, morning, This is Terri Cranefeld, Harford County public schools will be closed today, Tuesday February 22nd, Code Blue employees report at 10 AM. Again, Harford County Public Schools will be closed today. Code Blue employees report at 10 AM. This is Terri Cranefeld, Harford County public schools.”

What Google Voice transcribed on the message from my brother;

“Steve, hey you bottle baby want to call me back once in awhile. That’s what’s so hard, is it. Hey, alright. I love you. Talk to you soon. Bye.”

What he actually said;

“Hey, butthole, baby, why don’t you call me back once in a while. That’s not so hard is it? Alright. I love you. Talk to you soon. Bye.”

And this one, from my boss;

“Hi Honey, It’s, Elise. It’s 9:45 on Tuesday morning calling to check up on you. Well I’m at the few outstanding things I’ve seen, so if I need to be done before we pass along. Back to mail in the in the team. So, I want to make sure our meeting on a deadline so if you could give me a call back. We could discuss that’d be great. Thanks. Bye.”

What she said;

OK, I didn’t actually listen to this message, I’m sure it wasn’t very important. I’m also sure my boss didn’t call me ‘Honey’.Pfft.
