Lame Transcripts
November 8th, 2010
When Google Voice first sent out invitations to try their beta, my husband was one of the lucky ones. I had to sign up, wait for weeks, and then my invite finally came! w00t!
Let’s just say that Google Voice revolutionized the way I do voice mail, texts, etc.
I can give one number out to people, and when they call me, I can either:
- Pick up and have a nice chat with the person
- Not pick up and be e-mailed a transcript of the person’s voicemail
- Look like I didn’t pick up and listen in on someone leaving a voicemail (I’ve only done this with telemarketers. Most of the time, I can’t hear my phone – haha)
- Record the conversation for future reference (with the other party’s permission, of course)
Very nice features!
But, with all good things come…hilarious things…such as the sometimes questionable transcripts of voice mails.
After receiving one too many hilarious transcripts (e.g. my husband calling to “see if I love you!”), we decided to start a new website to compile the hilarity (and awkwardness) for generations to come:
Go visit, share some of your own, and spread the smiles!
