Hearing-impaired user's heartwarming moment: AI captions kiss as "woof woof" transcription

A hearing-impaired Reddit user shared a heartwarming AI moment: speech transcription repeatedly logged "m...mmm..mmmm" that she couldn't identify, until a dog bark was transcribed as "woof woof" helped her realize the "mmm" sounds were her husband kissing her on the head. She can't hear her neighbor's dogs at all, and found it adorable that AI faithfully transcribes barks as onomatopoeia.
