Lost in Google Voice Translation

My sister just left me a really long voice mail.  This is nothing out of the ordinary, we are generally known for leaving long rants about nothing on each others phones.  I always look forward to listening to them because they are highly entertaining, and I know it's probably just me, but I save every one.   

You can listen to the latest message she left below, and the corresponding voicemail transcript provided by Google, which is a rather enjoyable read, and the reason for this post.

Google Voice Transcript

Read what Google thought she was saying below and notice, Google didn't miss that she was indeed babbling.

The transcript was so off the mark, it was hilarious.  It read so weird and creepy and disjointed.  Exactly like my sister!  Google knows everything!  So, I had my sis call back and leave the Google transcript version on my voice mail as well.  I was hoping it would translate it back to the original...but just listening to the nonsense had me on the floor laughing, so here it is for your enjoyment.

And if you've gotten this far, here's a transcript of the transcript below, which is surprisingly VERY accurate.

It didn't translate it back like I had hoped, but it was much more accurate when you read what they thought you said originally.
