Voice recognition has come far, but it is still not perfect.
I was on my way to Toronto International Airport to pick up a friend. I wanted to text her to let her know that I was at an intersection near the airport. I said to my phone, “I’m at Martin Grove and Eglinton.” My phone’s voice recognition printed, “Add Martin Grover nagging 10.”
Here are some other examples:
“Is this going to take long?”
“Just going to take them home.”

“I have to find a bathroom.”
“I asked to find a bathrobe.”

*

“Call trader.”
*
“The meeting should last 20 minutes. I’ll be free after that.”

“It has a bad reputation for stale coffee.”
“He has had a bad reputation for still coughing.”
*
“The elevator is broken. You have to take the stairs.”
