I tried the Google App voice search for the first time after installing it a year ago.
I searched for something more recent, something the world talks about, so I tried, "Libya oppression".
The result was "lesbian operation".
Fine, it's my accent. So I cleared my throat and pressed the microphone icon again, I spoke up "li-bi-ya o-preh-shen", this time in a clearer and slower voice.
The result was "legion operation".
Tried again, it was "Libya operation".
Ah..getting there. So I tried again, it was, "Beautiful person".
"Beautiful person" from "Libya oppression"
I gave up in the end, knowing that I will never get there. Or was Google actually telling me these are the outcomes of the Libya oppression? I doubt it's as intuitive as that yet, but who knows.
A moment of realisation, I resorted to typing them out in the search bar and got 2.87 million results in 0.20 seconds.

Have you checked out the auto spelling? that's hillarious and yes, no idea why it has the affirnity to associate with sexual inuendoes!
i accidentally used this while playing with my new toy (back when i first bought it) and was quite amazed at its ability to recognise my voice. So somehow it was tuned to japanese search so i tried with some basic greetings and it was able to recognise my already-deteriorating japanese pronunciation lol!
