Let's face it- voice recognition just does't work for many people. My OH has been trying out his new tablet and he gets all sorts of ridiculous answers when he asks questions. Its bad enough phoning a restaurant and making a booking to turn up and find some weird and wonderful interpretations of your name(I do have a slightly unusual one!)
After a recent software update I find that every time i pick up my mobile I activate the voice control. Yesterday I got so sick of my phone speaking to me I shouted shut the f!!! up. There was a few seconds of silence and then it said- ok, just let me know when you are ready to speak again. I think it obviously understood what I said

And now a good excuse to post one of the funniest sketches ever!
