Robotic voice message, is it just me?

I had a call again today some automatic voice repeating a text to voice message. And I can't understand it:confused:. Is it just me or do others not understand these text to voice messages?

Why do companies use them and to a landline as well?

40 years in a noisy factory ruins your hearing:mad:

    Isn't it when someone accidentally sends a mobile phone text message to a land line that you get those recorded messages? I'm not surprised they are unintelligible if they are full of txt spk when sent!
    :D I haven't bogged off yet, and I ain't no babe :D

  • With my family the answer is similar to whether or not we can understand the chinese lady at our favourite take away; some people seem to be able to understand them ok, and others just simply can't. :)
    Male. :o
