Bleeding voice recognition software
I have been shouting into the phone for the past half hour trying to get the voice recognition on the home warranty phone line to understand me. I may be loosing the will......

My sympathies. Sometimes a very exaggerated John Wayne impression will move you forward, or if not it may eventually get to a person.

I tried an American accent. No joy. I also tried keeping quiet to try and force me through to a human. Unfortunately I have a cough and kept coughing at an inopportune moment. "I'm sorry, I don't understand. Please can you spell that."
My undoing was the landlords name -Ralph. Rarlf, Raarlf, Raarlfff.

When all else fails either press 0 or keep yelling "live advisor"...eventually you get there

You want to have a go using "On Star"...that is literally hours of amusement.
At least with that one, it doesn't understand people from Maine either

My phone was equally useless unless I put on a dreadful American accent. I couldn't even say "Call Nikki" without it acting as if I just farted at it. Luckily I managed to change the setting to British and it worked fine.
It used to be that you could skip the menu systems by just pressing zero a few times and then it would put you through to a real person, but too many people worked that out.

Try that with a 'fake' British accent with an undertone of German in it. If we had a gun in the house I probably would have shot the phone a couple of times by now.
