you guys should leave me voicemails so i can post them here

Google Voice tried to transcribe my mom’s voicemail message. If Google Voice had realized my mom wasn’t speaking English, it might not have bothered.

Then again, Google Voice has a hard time transcribing even English voicemails.

My favorite one is the one where it transcribed a voicemail that didn’t contain any speech whatsoever.

Google Voice also has first-time callers say their names so that it notifies me of who is calling me before I have the call patched through.

My mom didn’t understand the prompt and said, “Yoboseyooo (Hello?)”

So, now, whenever she calls, Google Voice tells me I got a call from “Yoboseyooo”.

For this hilarity alone, I would suggest you get yourself a Google Voice account.

I invite any of you with a mic to leave me a voicemail, as long as you’re okay with having it embedded here and transcribed.
