Former Anchor's Voice-to-Text Captures Family Chaos During Typhoon

Former news anchor Hsiao Tung-wen shared a humorous anecdote about her family's chaotic interactions during the approach of Typhoon Bawee, highlighting the challenges of working from home amidst domestic noise. While Hsiao was hosting her radio program from 8 AM to 5 PM, her husband and children were reportedly engaged in continuous shouting matches at home, creating a cacophony that nearly overwhelmed her.

“

Onion, onion, onion, plate, plate, plate, go away, go away, damn you idiot, what business is it of mine, why did you push me down?

To expedite her work, Hsiao utilized voice-to-text software, but the background noise led to bizarre transcriptions. Her dictated messages were interspersed with phrases like "onion, onion, onion, plate, plate, plate, go away, go away," and expletives, transforming her work notes into a nonsensical and comical record of the domestic turmoil. The absurdity of the situation was compounded when she questioned why they were washing plates when dirty dishes were left in the sink, only to be met with more shouting.

“

Why are you washing plates?! You guys go wash the bowls and cups left in the kitchen sink first! Why can't you wash the cup you drank water from or the bowl you ate from yourself!!!

Despite the household chaos, Hsiao humorously noted her family's adherence to the typhoon holiday, referring to them as "model citizens" for staying home. The story, shared on her Facebook, provided a lighthearted contrast to the serious threat posed by the approaching typhoon, showcasing a relatable, albeit exaggerated, portrayal of family life during stressful events.

We are on typhoon holiday, a model citizen family that obediently stays at home.
