ABC news - bizarre automatically generated transcripts

[Deleted]

Reading another thread (Minnesota man shooting two teens), I came across the ABC news website. Has anyone noticed how awful the automatically generated transcripts of its videos are?

Here's one about a rabid raccoon's attack on a sleeping girl - at first, I thought it must have been hacked as some attempt as humorous bad porn:

She woke up and found something. Ferry on her head that was biting her face it's this stuff of nightmares it seems like something that would never happen. Genitals mothers they've been leasing a house from more than twenty years woke up to something in her -- These three year old virgin -- thought it was -- -- pretty boy and she wasn't so lucky and she just reached in tried to pry it off.

Was unable to do so because at a very firm grip on her mouth. Finally is able -- her hands to pry it does apart. -- -- on the ground that's when she first realized it was a raccoon -- a -- true adolescent female had wandered in from the woods behind Virginia's home.

Right through her cat door and eventually. If you prevent teens -- landline telephone smash it. On the head it ran out of the bedroom she close a door and -- 911.

Animal control officer Leslie Thatcher rushed to the scene helps -- to correct the weaknesses of first I think to have a situation like this happen the victim. Was roughed up. She has.

I don't know anything about ABC news but how can a professional news organisation host such embarrassments?

Right under the transcript.

This transcript has been automatically generated and may not be 100% accurate.

Voice to text is not a easy thing to do. Many words sound exactly the same.
