Great for a search engine, but bad for producing documents. But everything ends up being a run-on sentence. ![]() ![]() It understands what words come out of my mouth - that’s getting pretty easy. Certainly there are ways that help imitate these things, like italics and ellipses, but computer software isn’t always smart enough to judge or understand how to take what comes out of our mouths, and reproduce it in text form.įor example, when I use my Droid’s Google Navigation or its universal search functions, if text is sent back to me, there is never a period or a comma. But when we speak, we don’t reproduce those same punctuations, as our focus is on emotion, emphasis to key words, and pausing between key ideas. When we write, type, and produce documents of text, as people we’re wired to insert that comma and place periods in good form. But when it comes to “writing” documents using dictation, you have to learn a new mode of thinking. ![]() You can open your browser and fetch mail while feeling like a star space cadet. ![]() For those who have played with or own MacSpeech, performing commands, I think, is quite intuitive. Dictation software in general is somewhat of an odd thing to a person who has never practiced it, especially if you’re trying to produce documents.
