Transcript for Billy Ray Cyrus: Not Sure About Miley's Wedding

[Quyen]

Not that I'm interested in celebrity gossip, okay, but when I saw the word "transcript," my interest was piqued, obviously. After reading it, I can't help but wonder: Who prepared this transcript? A captioner?  Transcriber? Court reporter? It's . . . well, terrible. Compare it to the video: http://abcnews.go.com/Nightline/video/miley-cyrus-wedding-liam-hems...

They weren't talking that fast. Wow. :/

When you write a book like this things can change I don't know and the -- you know thank you believe that she's getting America -- I know is those writing the book. I wanted to keep that particular. Moment there is open ended as possible I didn't know the answer. You know they're young. They're kids -- -- great news is. There are great -- hands they're really really good friends.

Voice recognition?

OMG!!  No way a reporter would be that lousy.  Where did you see this transcript? 

I agree that it looks like voice recognition software.  When I use it on my iPhone to type emails, it comes up that bad.

Hi Kelli,

How do you do the VR on the iPhone?  Do I need an app for that?

[Martha R]

The Android phones had VR over two years ago.   It comes with the phone and I, at least, don't need an app.

[Kelli Combs (admin)]

No, you just hit on the little microphone down in the bottom left-hand corner and it will type for you.  It doesn't work all that great though.

[Judy]

Well, it actually might work ok for a "regular" person that doesn't know the difference between their/there, your/you're, Smiths/Smith's.  Being in the professions we're in, I doubt it would be okay for us.

[Martha R]

it actually works pretty good if you speak clearly.  Usually gets the too, two and to's right.  How much wood could a woodchuck chuck comes out perfectly (they probably programmed that one in.)

[Judy]

Well, I think you hit the nail on the head:  what they've programmed in.  From everything I've heard, it can't think for itself, which is what they want you to belive.  And we all know, we can only program our dictionaries with what we've been given.  Anything out of the ordinary is a crap shoot.

[mary nelson]

Yeah, but it's just email.  It would be great to send one on the fly hands free when you're driving, say if a job cancels.

I used it to text my husband if he wants to get sushi and it came out, "You want to get sue she?"

[mary nelson]

But he got the point, right?  Is there any way to program in "sushi" now?
