Wilfrid Posted April 22 Posted April 22 I did get 8/8, but certainly on some of them I was just picking what looked like a British insult. Spoilers below if you're doing the quiz. I've never heard of a "melter" or a "dinlo." But you know "whippetcracker," for example, is made up. Quote
maison rustique Posted June 3 Posted June 3 I am laughing so hard I'm crying! I had an issue with the trash service and was getting nowhere with it. Yesterday afternoon I finally asked to be bumped up to a supervisor and he took care of it immediately. He just called to confirm that all was OK and I was on another call, so it went to voice. His name is Xavier (He has an accent but is easy to understand.) with the service desk at Republic Services, but this is the beginning of the VM transcript I got from iPhone: "Hello there, Rob. This is a good savior from the relationship death of Republic Services." 1 Quote

StephanieL Posted June 4 Posted June 4 Customer service voice recognition software has a very hard time with N's accent. 1 Quote
Wilfrid Posted June 4 Posted June 4 I long ago adopted an exaggerated American accent for dealing with customer service software. It couldn't handle clipped British vowels. 1 Quote
