The "fantastic" 4
"There's people that were there friend that wants. They have confidence in. I believe I will be able to instill that confidence in the American people about away. I'm in this race because I care about. Americans. I'd like concerned about the very 4. We have a safety net there. I just need to repair. I'll fix it. I'm not concerned about the very rich they're doing just fine. I'm concerned about the very part of America that the 90 95 percent of Americans who right now are struggling and I'll continue to take that message across the nation HI questionnaire Nevada sharing 4 okay. Hey Gary, or LA. Also right strangling the thanks Okay bye. Thanks. Bye. Well, you had to finish the sentence, so that I said, I'm not concerned about the very for that have a safety net, but it has holes in it. I will repair them at the the challenger right now, we we what we will here for the debt."
Are you concerned about the "very 4"? You should be ;) No matter what side you're on, you have to admit that politicians say some crazy things from time to time. I heard this the other day and wondered, what would google voice make of this? This is actually the second political quote that I tried to run through Google Voice. The other day I tried to do Newt's moon base quote, but for some reason it would never take.
While it think I get what he was actually saying, Romney's choice of words was very "4" ;). At least to me anyway. I like how if you went with the the transcription above, it comes out almost the exact opposite of what he said. Maybe that's what he really meant, and Google has placed an "what I really meant to say" section in their algorithms to clear things up. Although, heaven help us if it has.
If you have any other quotes that you'd like me to run through Google Voice, send me the link and if it's good I'll post it.

Soft Kitty or Well you god
"The budget bye. Hello commuting so kitty later. ON mon used to sing it to me when I was sick, hey hey, I don't know teach you and Com. Katy will in duties doodle Volvo to. Hmm. Happy gav sleepy gav a to God. Well you god."
There is a bit of padding on this clip because Google Voice wouldn't transcribe just the song on it's own. This transcription is of the song "Soft Kitty" that my wife and I first heard on a show called the Big Bang Theory. The first time we heard this, both my wife and I died laughing. Afterword it became kind of a running joke at our house to sing it to each other when something went wrong or one of us was feeling rough. We've even made the song part of out daughters bedtime routine. So, along with a reading of Goodnight Moon, our daughter is serenaded to sleep by me singing Soft Kitty to her two or three times.
As a side note, Soft Kitty wasn't made up for the show, it was a remix of a song that already existed. Here is the Wikipedia article on it:

Hell yeah and the Chinese Bed
"Hell yeah, you left in here. So I was at wash my car. I thought it was quite a Chinese bed that you guys in my bedroom. I'll see you later. Bye."
This is one from the other day. We had left some things at my mother-in-law's house and she called to let us know that she had our stuff. Now my mother-in-law is a good Christian lady who doesn't drink, smoke, and especially doesn't curse. In fact for a long time my wife got in trouble if she said the word crap around her house. But if you believed what Google Voice would tell us, instead of saying hello, she goes around saying to everyone "Hell yeah!" instead of hello. Why Google wants to besmirch my mother-in-law's good name, we don't know.
The Chinese bed part comes from the habit my mother-in-law has of getting my wife and her sister's name mixed up and correcting herself halfway through. The result of which this time led Google to believe that my mother-in-law has "quite a Chinese bed." Maybe that was Google's attempt to make it up to her for trying to ruin her good name? Who knew that you could exchange a good name for really good Chinese furniture?

Hello!
Hi, may name is Daniel and welcome to my blog. I've been using Google voice for a while and both my wife and I have been getting a kick out of some of the transcription results. The purpose of this blog is to share the ones that we have found to be the funniest as well as to post what the results of of our experiments to see what happens when we send parts of TV shows, movies, poems, etc. through the Google voice transcription algorithms. Also, I'm going to set up a Google voice number so that if someone wants to call in with something weird that they want to see the results of we can post that as well. I hope you enjoy being lost in dictation as much as we have.
