Dear Customer Service, I recently purchased your dictation software to use with my blog, Living with a Golden.  Although I’m grateful for my Mom’s efforts to type my thoughts, I do not appreciate her editorial comments.  But I digress.  The reason for this letter is that I am dissatisfied with your lack of Dog as an option in setting up my account.

I understand that this software is not intended to be used for translating.  Therefore I accept that Barking is not an option under languages.  However when setting up my user profile I was disappointed to see that English spoken with a Dog accent is not available.  You have all sorts of options including British accented English, Spanish accented English, you even have the very specific “Inland Northern US Upstate New York through Chicago Area” as an option.  How much trouble would it be to add English accented Dog?  Just one quick scroll through social media sites and it is plain to see that Dogs worldwide have very important things to say.  Your sales would be astronomical if you developed Dog dictation software that facilitated their significant contributions to society.

In the meantime I will continue to follow your troubleshooting advice and work with the dictation software to learn my accent, while being thoroughly amused by the inaccurate results.

Sincere Tail Wags,

Chuck Billy

PS: Thanks Mom for typing this letter for me!
