Hmmm... Maybe because I'm not a native speaker, but, well, I don't get it :-) Could you explain ?

  Try saying it out loud several times without thinking about the words at all, but only the sounds your voice is making as you say them: I helped Apple wreck a nice beach I helped Apple reck a nize beach I helped Apple reck ug nize beach I helped Apple reckug nize peach I helped Apple recognize speech!

  “Recognise speech” / “wreck a nice beach” can sound similar (if you allow for some imprecisions, slurring, accents, etc, like noisy real-world data has). The relevant term here is _phonemes_, the individual chunks of sounds that make the phrases up; these two phrases have shared or similar phonemes in typical English diction. e.g the first two sounds are both “reh”, “cuh”

  In english its a near homophone (sounds the same as) “I helped apple recognize speech.” Its a joke about working on language recognition and still getting it wrong.

  It is mentioned in the top article: Saying “recognize speech” makes a sound that can be indistinguishable from “wreck a nice beach.”
