Shawn’s Journal

I’m running a round 2 to my new form of poetry. For those of you that didn’t read my previous post on this, the next version of Adobe Soundbooth will come with speech transcription, allowing you to take recorded spoken word and convert it into text on your screen. I wanted to know what it would do if I gave it a sound that wasn’t a human voice. So this time I took a sound recording of a bowling alley, as recorded from right where the ball hits the pins. Editor’s Note: I took out some extra copies of the word “the” and I also added the commas myself. Other than that, this is exactly what it said:

The road, the eye, the room, the it is the U, the second, the U, the Internet, I don’t know the game, no I love the show, the road.

It turns out that bowling pins are even more poetic than wiper blades. If it was written by a human, wouldn’t you see some very deep meanings in there somewhere?
