Being as hard of hearing as I am means I often activate the audio transcription on YouTube videos. It’s not a perfect technology by any means, but it is helpful in assisting me in figuring out what is being said. It fills in the gaps a bit. For instance, the Obama interview on YouTube got almost all of the transcription correct:
You can see it catches most of the words. Unless the words are being spoken with a thick Pittsburgh accent, then the audio transcription software shits the bed in gloriously hilarious fashion all, “I DON’T KNOW WTF THIS DUDE IS SAYING!”:
The possible band names you can generate this way are LIMITLESS.
I’m partial to Isolated Ripon.

You need to watch Rhett & Link’s caption fail clips. The videos are hilarious. They used Google captions to play the telephone game from an original script. Here’s an example:

That…is…fantastic. Next time someone asks me where I am, I’m totally answering “Downstream at the college U.”

Haha, awesome. But I do not get the obsession with Pittsburgh Dad. Greg & Donny is a million times funnier…

I don’t even want to know why it would generate “ripon from store hole…”
