Wow. What was the actual message?

I love Google Voice, but the transcription skills are uh lacking
- Bryan R. Adams
Well, in this case the last three quarters is some kind of busy signal, so it's a trick question :-)
- Casey Muller
Hillarious :-)

Yeah their transcriptions are atrocious

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.

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: sounds like a pretty accurate translation to me.

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.
