Hey buddy. It’s still Matt, I’m just trying to move a voice wanna see how good it is so I guess issue. Momo’s will start some stuff and seeing nowhere because and but over all things are going well. Talk to you sooner. Goodbye.

Hey buddy it’s Stu, I’m just trying out Google Voice, wanted to see how good it is.  Um, I guess I should mumble as well as some stuff and see you know what it does with that.  But overall things are going well, talk to you soon, Goodbye!  Hahahahahahahahaa.

This way they can collect information about voicemails that cause their text conversion system to fail.  In my mind this is one of the main competencies of Google: consistent collection of user feedback.

Now if only I could port my current number over to Google Voice…
