When the Google Voice Transcript Monkey Goes Berserk...
This summer, I was astounded at how quickly I fell in love with Google Voice. I love it, I love it, I love it!I love how it tracks my outbound / inbound calls. I love how I can have one number follow me anywhere I go. I love the push-button recording of calls. I love the free-anywhere-in-the-US feature. And perhaps most of all, I love the voicemail transcripts that go directly to my inbox! Instead of listening to a lengthy voicemail, I can quickly scan a written transcript & get the gist of what is being communicated. What a time saver! Of course, from time to time, the Google Voice transcript monkey types up some crazy stuff. Transcript accuracy is usually pretty good, but if a client is speaking quickly or indistinctly, it can give me some laugh-out-loud moments. When I received this email from a client on a Friday afternoon, the Google Transcript monkey accurately portrayed her tone -- but didn't get many of her words right!
Don't worry: my client isn't psycho -- but I got the idea I needed to call her pronto! Note: remember to speak slowly and clearly when you leave a voicemail! Thanks, Google Voice Transcript Monkey!
