*Questionv*Re: Using Voice-To-Text?
by ruwth

Shaye and Jaeyne of the Free Fab Five,

You two have helped me feel okay about using voice-to-text. I plan to use the version on my phone. Right now, I am typing on my notebook while drinking coffee at Panera's but when I am alone in the dark in my camper, I hope to use the voice-to-text feature on my phone to help me build up my word count.

The version on my phone is pretty accurate and I can tell it to place a period, question-mark and start a new paragraph. It does not respond to comma or colon and I can't remember if I can tell it exclamation point. I don't think I can.

I used a built in version on this notebook several years ago and it "learned" my voice which was nice. The other day, I was using it on my phone and it could not write: "begrudgingly" so there are burps but it will help me catch up, I am sure...

I used voice-to-text one year when I was very, very, very far behind. Without voice-to-text, I would not have won that year. However, I am still editing the words from that day... *Laugh*

One year, I "wrote" while driving! Hands free but dictating as I drove.

But, I have always felt guilty about it—like it was cheating.

Honestly, I think it is much easier for me to talk that it is for me to write but some of my WdC friends think better with their fingers...

Maybe this is a lesson I need to learn...

I might try to use voice-to-text for a contest entry this week and see how it goes...

Right now, I need to get a move on with Nano—I need 25,000 more words!!!
