Testing the Automated Voice Transcription, just for the heck of it.
It could take up to ten minutes for it up update with the auto-transcription. :)
EDIT: Not bad! It missed Schenectady and understood Saskatoon. Of course there’s no way for it to know skennedy, but it did a pretty fine job, methinks. This short paragraph took less than a minute.

There’s an automated transcriber? Neat!
take a second look! It finished.
^_^ awesome!
Well look at LJ’s fancy pants! Spiffy!
Ooo, nifty!
Pretty sweet. Is this something you activate with LJ or something that you post to lj through?
People can make voice posts through livejournal by calling the right phone number for their area (or an 888 number). The transcription service is new, and currently only for paid subscribers while they test it.
So it’s automaticly on for you if you’re paid? (which I am)
Yes indeed.
Hmm, I put up a voice post to test it out and it’s still not transcribed. *sads*
Ah well. :)
neeto!
i tried to do this, and it asked for a pin number. i don’t have a pin for my cell phone :P
No no – the pin number is something you set up with Livejournal, not something regarding your phone.

Impressive, but I dread the initial enthusiasm for this feature.
I remember when a bad trip was an all night drive to Schenectady!
I also spent a school year there.. Did you know that the townies are referred to as Schenectadoids?
My favorite book store there was run by a Korean War vet who had a sign up behind the register that read ‘No Dancing’.
His rationale was that there had to be ‘SOME’ rules.
Congratulations on providing what may be the most surreal comment I’ve ever received on one of my own posts. ;)
