I just got this work voice mail

[Deleted]

When someone leaves a voice mail at my work number, the message is transcribed and emailed to me. Sometimes the transcription gets messed up a bit, but this one takes the cake.

"This office. My name is xxxxx for xxxxxxx a state board of good food call me hoping that you'll be alright. I am gonna be representing xxxxxx and this legitimate shouldn't Joe filed. It doesn't sound like we got a lot of, lot of issues and nothing really fired over. Call me xxxxxxx I'll be following up so but no answer and I guess, I think to do my job. I need to verify his income and I'm sure you'll probably wanna verify her cholesterol. They would take care of. Thank you. bye bye."

My favorite part is about me checking her cholesterol, lol. I'm also stumped by the "state board of good food", but am hoping that they might have a job opening, because that would be AWESOME!

That is hysterical!

We have this at work too and it's also funny. If people say "oh" rather than "zero" it gets all sorts of confused.

I have vonage at home and it is much better.

And this is why voice recognition software will never completely replace court reporters. Also this is why the courts that replaced their court reporters with voice recognition software to save money almost always wind up going back to humans.

This is great entertainment. I would let my phone go to VM just to see how the message came out. I assume you can still hear the voice recording?

My cell phone had an app like this. It always turned my simple last name into two completely different words.

I want to work there too! I gave up on a few apps because of things like that. At work we use Dragon Speak and that does a pretty good job once you get it trained.

Yeah, I would be tempted to do this too. I wish we had voice recognition software!
