To test him, I requested he leave me a five minute long voicemail message as proof of his abilities. Just a couple of days ago, I finally got myself a Google Voice number so I’ve been playing around with the voicemail service. Specifically the transcription feature.

Here is the result. Follow the Google transcription with Bruno’s sultry grosgrain voice.

Obviously, Google Voice fails horribly. I am sorely tempted to allow them to use Bruno to improve their transcription service, but I have yet to ask him that. No worries though; I did ask for his permission for this.

And thus, this column is born. Every month, we will display Bruno’s geeky prowess and test how well Google keeps up with him.
