A friend of mine has a little dog with a high-pitched bark. This dog
gets excited easily, and since she and her human live in an apartment
building, where people (and dogs) are always coming and going, she
has many opportunities to get excited and make a lot of high-pitched
noise. (Causing some neighbors to complain.)
Anyway, this friend was using the speech recognition program on her
computer. She then went out for the afternoon, leaving the dog in the
apartment and the speech recognition still program running. Here's
what she came home to:
I left my speech recognition program on, and came home to this:

And Larry Sanders? How did it get that??
I like all the I I I I I's. I can just hear that dog making those
sounds. (And I can hear the neighbors going Ay yi yi!)
Also great was, "you are a lot of talk to friends at NPR". :) And "how
can I pass pass pass on a La Habra high". Indeed! :)
(NPR is the public radio network in the US - National Public Radio.)

LMAO!!! That's hysterical! I can imagine the last couple of
sentences coming from the d*g sounded like ACK ACK ACK with all the
"A"s that were interpretted.

LOL That's hilarious! I remember when I went to work for my former
employer one of the network engineers was named Neel (not many people could
pronounce his actual name). He was working with voice recognition
technology to see if it could be used in daily applications within the
company. The problem was, his accent was so heavy it didn't translate what
he said, even though what he said was in English, into anything useful. He
turned the test software into a fun toy to have in his office :)
Neel was a good guy; he was one of the ones who happened *not* to be in the
WTC when the towers collapsed.

No, but the company (Sedgwick CMS) was bought by Marsh & McLennon (MMC)
which occupied the 101st floor of the North Tower of the WTC. During the
merger, a lot of people were transferred from Memphis to NY to work at the
headquarters. I cannot stand to think of it this day. I personally knew 30
people who died that day. Neel was one who didn't go back to help them get
their data systems together. Ian (former head of HR at Sedgwick) was
minutes away - his train was late. He has since moved to Savannah, Georgia.
Our IT guys were on the ball; within minutes we got to watch on screens all
over the office... the planes flying in, the commetary, and as the towers
fell. It's a sight I'll never, ever forget. I definitely don't want to see
the movie "World Trade Center". It's bad enough when I watch an old movie
and see them standing. They are not there any more. Due to pure, stupid,
egomaniacal hatred. This was to make a point? To collapse the world
economy? Guess what? It didn't. But it killed a lot of innocent people.
Lots of people I knew and worked with. Oh yeah.
