“Now, let’s see, ‘shape the bread into the boule,’ what the heck is a ‘boule’?” With my flour-dusted hands, I whipped my phone out from my back pocket and half-shouted, “Hey Google, what is a boule?”
A picture of a bull appeared on the screen. I sighed and tried again. Clearly, Google wasn’t understanding my accented English. Slightly irritated, I typed the word “bull” to “boule” and a loaf of round bread appeared. “Ah!” Why couldn’t the recipe have printed “bowl”? It clearly looks like a bowl.
Now, just how in the world do I shape this into a bowl?

Yes, the language in recipes is only as good as one’s understanding of it. I’ve had this issue many times and google speech-recognition isn’t up to it!

I’m glad I’m not the only one who has trouble with searching by speech. 😀

Technology can let us down, and even when we sort that out, in the end it’s up to us to figure things out.

Thanks for the chuckle 🙂 Liked the humour. I gave up speaking to Google after the first attempt.
