Google’s NOT Good at Everything…

by Jason on June 7, 2009

As part of Google Voice, Google offers a service that transcribes your voicemails and emails them to you. It’s a nice idea, in theory… And I really love the thought of not having to call in to check voicemail, or even be near a computer.

But it’s not perfect. And in this case, it was downright awful. Below is the transcript I got emailed last night.

I had received a call asking me to get on a conference call with a marketer’s Pay-Per-Click manager.

The gist of the message was this:

I know it’s Saturday night, and I don’t want to seem like a stalker, but if you can get on the call with us, that’s great. If you can’t, no big deal… we’ll do it another time.

And here’s the transcript I got from Google:

jason i need to call me back as i know it’s like 6 o’clock your time on saturday and i feel like i’m freaking stalker but i was on the phone my paper craig i would just you know off it’s off was paul each other and i’d like to do me a call jason so no answer no big deal memo calling right back i know you want to get on the horn with what else is going to do some so no big deal manhunter next week bye

?????

Sometimes, you just gotta laugh.
