New Toy
Vanilla is attempting a new approach to writing his
blog posts. It works like this. Two weeks ago I purchased a piece of
equipment that purports to be a cell phone for less than 20 bucks. I did
not purchase any of the minutes for telephone usage but simply adapted
the piece of equipment to serving as a handheld computer. I soon
discovered that this machine has many amazing features including voice
writing. Thus I sit here at my ease and dictate my story to my machine.
I am so excited by this that I am hoping to carry this
away from home and transmit my messages back to my base computer. Wow
this thing is amazing!

What piece of equipment did you acquired that actually works as it is supposed to work?
All my devices, eve the tv remote, have voice/dictation capabilities but I just can't bring myself to talk to a remote!
I used to have "Dragon -- Naturally Speaking" on this computer. It worked okay, but typing is still easier for me.
Vee, I will let you know.
Grace, agreed talking to machine seems to be a bit creepy.
Chuck, I prefer typing as well but with this device and its tiny touchpad speaking is much simpler than trying to find the keys.
I really dislike "typing" on my phone and use voice dictation all the time. But I can't imagine writing a blog post that way -- I edit too much!!
Jim, right; the editing does not go away. In fact the difficulty of the chore is exacerbated by the critter's choice of words to substitute for the ones apparently not in its dictionary. Case in point, writing a post in which i referred to Solomon's son, Rehoboam, it insisted and persisted in writing "redbone." haha
