Google voice-to-text skills
Click to enlarge. Source (manually corrected and improved): Whisk.
I dictated the following sentence to the English version of my Google Keyboard app.: “A success, sort of”, i.e., literally “A – success – comma – sort – of”.
The result? « Un sexe comment soigne ». I had not asked for a translation, just voice-to-text. Moreover, the result barely sounds like the original English input, and has a totally different meaning (“A sex organ how [to] cure”).
It is Google which should be soigné, don’t you think so? It looks so language-incompetent and sexually obsessed…
Incidentally, during my fights to get Google’s Whisk to produce the above illustration, it displayed 5 fingers on the left side of the smartphone and a thumb on the right side. When I told it to correct it and how to do it, it suppressed the thumb and 2 fingers on the left. I wonder how the phone didn’t slip out of this amputated hand…
