I was going to post this yesterday but I was far too tired to. Now because of the mistakes that I've had to correct this morning, I feel that it is more appropriate now. 


I have some back issues that make typing for long periods of time uncomfortable. But because I'm home, I thought to try and use the speech to text option that's in my windows computer and the one for word documents. Then I would copy and paste the text into the comment boxes as I pleased. Initially, this seemed like a great idea, and I was so happy that it worked! I thought about how I never knew that these functions existed, etc. So I went on with posting on a couple of images and then went to bed (I was up really late. Was about 60% asleep while I was posting) While I was using the program though, it was bugging out. Like there were words on top of words, it lagged and a couple other weird things. I didn't pay any mind to it and just kept using it cause it got lazy and didn't want to restart the program or the computer. 


Then I got up this morning and realized what had happened because of ym laziness. It copy and pasted the same comment to a couple different spots. And I, in my sleepy, lazy stupor, didn't think to double check what was being posted. I just hit enter and then went to sleep. So this morning, I got to go around fixing comments and apologizing. 



If anyone notices a comment that's really out of place, like I'm mentioning things that aren't in the image, please tell me. I'm more than happy to admit when I've goofed and to fix it. As for this speech to text program, I'm not too sure how much more I'm going to use it, though I'd relly like to. I think it's more a matter of just commen sense and restarting the dern thing when it starts crashing.

Yeah, the built in voice recognition software in Widows does not like my voice. Even after going through the lessons dozens of times for it to "learn" my dictation style it still won't work half the time. And when it does work and get a sentence correct, it is only because it has misheard me a dozen or so times to finally be able to figure out what I was saying the whole time. (And since I've been told by many people that I don't really have an accent, I really feel sorry for those with accents trying to use the software) I wish I could get Dragon Naturally Speaking as I've heard it is supposed to be the best dictation software, but I hate paying that much for software (Even more so now that the current editions will likely be the last version before it is cannibalized and turned into abandon ware)

I used to try and use voice to text to write my stories. Not only did it time out quickly, but with it lacking sexual words I received... ah... peculiar results. 3/10, would not recommend.
