Age 51 Is apparently the age when someone who’s been typing since they were 3 gets carpal tunnel to the point of, hey let’s learn how good voice to text is. This week has been my voice to text experience. You are part of it.

The first thing I learned is that I’m a whole lot more unfiltered when I use voice to text, and my grammar isn’t nearly as sophisticated. Meh. I think we can all live with that. It also has much better spelling than I do, so other than really weird word substitutions, this isn’t a terrible thing.
The next thing I learned is that windows built in voice to text is not worth it. The voice to text that Google has the chrome browser, is totally fine. If you’re on a Windows box, only write things in Google Docs.
That said, Apple is totally rocking it out on the voice to text. There are weird choices of punctuation, substitution of words, and other stuff, but I can’t blame voice to text for homonyms existing in the English language.
Using voice to text also allows me to do a whole lot more on my phone and iPad, but I can now only work effectively in places where other people aren’t listening or where I’m going to potentially bother them. I’m writing this while out walking.
I’m sure I’m going to learn more as the week progresses, but this is where I’m at so far. Updates to follow. Other than fixing the spelling of meh, this was done completely unedited using the iPhone voice to text.
