Sunday Game: Siri Says What?
updated: Sep 01, 2012, 5:00 PM

By The Dedicated Staff

Sticking with the cell phone theme, the Dedicated Staff has noticed the hands-free options aren't always what they're cracked up to be. iPhone released Siri who is supposed to make it easier for translating text messages and navigating through your phone while multi-tasking.

Has anyone ever noticed how ridiculous some of the translations seem to be? Our staff has compiled a few interesting translations from our iPhones. (Note: This can also be done on an HTC phone or Google Translate).

Can you guess what the original translation was supposed to be? (Hint: the answers might be song lyrics, but that is all you're getting).

Translation #1:
Couple hits on the brain leading something the same acting funny I don't know why excuse I like kisses sky. Patty plays all around don't know if I'm going up or down and I hope your misery? And whatever at is a copy to spell me.

Translation #2:
See them sad tune Madison. I see hubble on the way. I see earthquakes and not see the chance to say don't go around tonight but I'll sound to your life here's a sad tune on surprise.

Translation #3:
And say well done on the road are shadows time still cant believe you know no signs but Lachman's to show how everything still tentacled and if you listen very hard to come to you at last when al is fine and wants us all to be rock and not turbo.

Send your guess to ed@edhat.com with the title: Siri Game.

Ed is also curious to see what hilarious misinterpretations you've had with voice translation. Send the original message and the translation to ed@edhat.com to be posted.

My new iPad's dictation feature has given me some hilarious results. Will these count?

These remind me of some of the lyrics from the Yes albums of '68-'72.

Z-Z-Z-z-z-z-z-zzzzz..... To users it may be 'funny' (more like annoying, maybe?) , but to the rest of us, it might seem pretty obscure.

Simply do not read the thread. Problem solved.

Looks pretty cool. I've had trouble with Siri myself. Sorry to all you bores who dislike fun.
