  I love the concept of voicemail transcription.

  Turning a voicemail into the text message it should have been in the first place.

  My favorite incidents of bungled auto transcription:

  1. On a a voicemail, the caller said, “this is _____ over at Rice’s pharmacy.” The transcription read, “this is _____, overt racist pharmacy.”

  I mean, I suppose if the pharmacy is racist, at least they’re overt about it so people can avoid the place.

  2. I have some lecture videos on YouTube, and in one course we used a text by Hibbeler.. A few times in the video I will say something like, “this is problem so an so from the Hibbeler text.” The captions have me referring to “the Hitler text.”

  Apparently I was referencing Mein Kampf while teaching undergraduate mechanics, for some reason.

    In Danish a tank is called Kampvogn (literally Fight Wagon) so i was trying to do a “Repairing Mein Kampvogn” joke but then i end up with a joke in 3 languages.

      I think “fight wagon” is probably a better descriptor than simply “tank.”

      Although, it’s funny in a way. At least in American English, we don’t really use the word “wagon” much anymore. And when we do, we’re usually referring to something like this:

      So the idea of one of those bristling with guns is quite humorous.

  I once had a fax machine dial the wrong number and leave those modem sounds as a message, that was then attempted to be transcribed. I spent like 10 minutes trying to figure out the text it sent before I listened to the message and started laughing my ass off.

    I remember the days of fax machines and dialup internet. I think there’s still a fax machine at work, though I don’t think it gets used very often.
