If you have ever used speech recognition software, then you`ll know how difficult it is to get the computer to understand exactly what you`ve said…

(Written by Tactful Sheik)


Microsoft Office has speech recognition software, which can allow you to dictate something directly into Microsoft Word, but it doesn’t always come out as you would expect.

As the weekend, Dundee United crashed out of the Scottish Cup 1-0 to Inverness Caley Thistle, after a Russell Duncan wonder strike in the first half and after the match I was listening to Craig Levein talking about how well the United defence had played.

For a laugh, I thought I’d use the ‘dictation’ function in Microsoft Word, to see what would happen if I played Craig Levein’s interview to the computer.

The result…was complete gibberish, but I found it quite amusing.

If you read this you might believe that Craig Levein was a politician, because it makes very like sense overall, but every now and again that are a couple of lines which might make some sense,

Here is the Levein interview, which what he really said in italics afterwards.



“The object is to reflect the endeavor to dispatch a low level of the tenth century since the end of the Tannadice on Tuesday compositions are also the edition issue of reform to do whatever-systems-services sector has suggested to the rendering of civilizations – from the current form of a dozen churches and organizations number Jeanette Harris MVP a better view of a visitor from sitting there, done that.”

There was nothing in it, we were beaten by a pretty special goal. I’ve got to look at it and think how could we have defended it better. One player was in the wrong position for a long throw. It just shows you that if people aren’t aware of their defensive responsibilities, especially at set pieces – which I consider a long throw to be – then it’ll cost you, but it was a fantastic finish.



“Whatever-systems-services number two minutes. If the just the second in the first person who could afford to one encoding some of the nuclear testing the waters and me in this area. The debate is that if you want to sit and talk to them to status 31% in that*SMZ 028 yesterday to do is what are they doing to us (the resistance of some dumb them dangerous to laws that would indicate a readiness to 00-net-net under this provision that Saddam Hussein has failed to show SFS-S.”

We had half a dozen shots from similar positions and didn’t hit the target and there’s the difference between going out of the cup and not. If you go into a football match and your most creative players don’t perform, then there is a chance that you’re not going to score goals. Our two wide players didn’t do as well today as they have been doing and that’s probably the high standards that they’ve set themselves that I’ve gauging them with. We didn’t do particularly well in the wide areas. Even when balls did come into the box, we didn’t react well enough to 2nd balls. The keeper spilled two shots and a cross, we didn’t react to that well enough



“Once it has been implemented a new to us to use of the SMS setup into related to zero versus the American system shuts down to is this a better time than what are we to us to use that for you is this just isn’t endorsed to represent just a little bit.”

We had a couple of good opportunities. Robertson’s missed a header from 2 yards, passed the post. Noel Hunt had a tap in and him and David Robertson ran into each other – These 2 are easier chances than Caley had all day.



“Then I thought the sense of what’s left are things that stores stores in Tuesday’s second-guess the 3703 saves away from home against a team to have recently been instituted in the interest of life just distribution center suspects of mental attitude journalists in a new system life-sector 2% of the hostages if this is the defense is that a little data.”

I thought defensively we were excellent. I think Derek Stillie only had 2 or 3 saves. 3 away from home against a team that have just beaten Hibs 3-0, beat Rangers and got something from Celtic last week. Don’t let anyone tell you this isn’t a hard place to come and win a match. So the keeper in the whole match only had 3 saves to make. We defended really well.



“New technology for was shot down to specific as to seven minutes into evidence for a different level of intensity and an M.S. in And the entertainment centers and it’s so does the defenders received two things together to give it a bit of two months.”

Lee Wilkie had another good performance. Sean Dillon gets better every week. I felt that in the midfield area, we didn’t perform to quite the level we have been doing, creatively and up top we didn’t. I’ve been lamenting our defenders in recent weeks, so I’ve got to praise our defenders. We just have to put the two things together and give us a better opportunity to win matches.



The problem is that everytime you try this, it comes out with something different. So, you could place the same line to the computer over and over and it could come out with something strange each time you do it.

If you give it a try, then you’ll see what I mean.
