Google Voice Asks Users to Donate Voicemails

googleGoogle is asking Google Voice users to opt-in and donate their voicemails to improve the transcription service. Donated voicemails may be listened to by humans and manually transcribed to improve the transcription service. If you’re so inclined to donate voicemails, I recommend donating the really juicy ones to spice up the job of listening to them.

On a more serious note, this shows Google’s dedication to improving the quality of the transcriptions which I believe is the stepping stone for the Google Translation service for Android.

    Oh man, this calls for some really raunchy ones. Ones that specifically reference all the crazy things we want to do to people employed in the transcription industry!
