BUT!

Shoot, I do almost that bad when I'm typing on a keyboard.

Sometimes called maybe when.

Meanwhile, I remain communicating at a desk-top with full keyboard. If I'm not home, you'll not hear/read from me.

Years ago mine used to "autocorrect" castnet to read castrate!

Reminiscing with a friend yesterday and realized it has been over 4 years since I have used a desktop and 2 years since using a laptop computer. Just because I use an iPhone doesn't mean I use it when away from home.

In the late 1950s and early 1960s that phrase was a subway advertisement for a school that taught speed writing to qualify you to be a secretary. The graphics were of course aimed at women.

If I can figure out how to use it, I thought I might start using Siri for dictating forum entries. Siri has just been added to the MacBook OS. Still looking to find out how. So far no joy.

We dictate 95% of our posts. I've used Android dictation software, but we generally use Dragon products including Dragon mobile assistant as it's the memory features that really lead to more accurate transcribing.

Siri/Apple is really very good. Microsoft Speech Recognition on Androids is bad. Google Docs Voice Typing is pretty accurate, maybe even better than Apple.

When I saw the thread title, I thought this was going to be about the old James Brown song of the same name.

Apparently, it is not.

That would take the attraction right out of Flamenco dancing

When drafting an e-mail to my cousin Jean, Dragon Naturally Speaking entered the salutation as: "Hygiene." Training didn't seem to help.
