Technology is great, up to a certain point. Smart phone can be entertaining when you want to try out the speech to text typing. Being a total failure at typing on a smart phone, I tend to try the talk-to-text option. The wife and I, have taken to making fun of it when it generates some crazy mistakes.

Generally, it works well. However, if you have background noise, or in Michelle’s case on this day, taken a ton of cold medicine, it can miss the mark by a mile.

She was groggy from the cold medicine, trying to talk-to-text since she couldn’t see well through the medicine induced blurry vision. The following is a short text exchange between her and me. You’ll notice my lack of punctuation, I just string it together when I use the talk-to text, rather than stop and use the keys.

So, I fired one back of crazy talk, just to see what it would do. It got it 100% right. It gave her a laugh at least. She calls me boo or honey not hobey, and she said it wouldn’t even understand her curse words when she became frustrated with it. Of course the window AC was loud, and the NyQuil slurred her speech.

Ever have crazy things come out of your talk-to-text AI?
