Apple's Siri has brought renewed interest in voice recognition software. Voice recognition involves talking to one's computer to control it or to do word processing. The keyboard is bypassed altogether. Siri has some of the...

Kat C. Sebastian If I would have to choose only one, then I'd still go with typing. But, voice recognition on a phone is really very useful, especially during those times when your hands are full. While it is true that talking is faster, I guess it would be harder to create...

The problem: I found a new field of study called futurism. Some of the predictions are scary while others amazing. I found myself obsessed. Obsessed to the point where other areas of my life have been neglected in favor of...

Bluedoll Predictions? Are we talking about futurism in literature http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Futurism#Futurism_in_literature or something else? If I felt that an obsession was consuming my life I would first look at the interest. Is it good for me in the sense...

grandpa_lash I have an obsession that has lasted most of my adult life, in patches, to find a way of beating the odds in four footed critter races (greyhounds in this incarnation). I find it ironic that it took me till 66 and being in too poor health to really enjoy the...

I have to admit, and I've said it before, I don't like change. But when Firefox froze on me a short time ago, that was the last straw. It had crashed on me earlier when I installed an add on for a survey. So far, I don't...

estherlou I have a PC. I'm a Trekkie so the idea of a voice activated computer is a cool thought. I've tried the software and it had a had time understanding my voice. I never could get it to work. Of course...the software is probably more advanced now. Besides...I...

MRconrad01 Even if voice recognition was perfect, I would still prefer typing. I suffer from insomnia, and so I do most of my work late at night. Because of this, those around me are typically sleeping. If I had to talk to my computer to get a report finished and so on,...

mariahhh I actually prefer both. It just depends on how and when I will use it. I prefer the voice recognition when I am so lazy to type and if I feel tired from too much typing. I will use it if I'm alone. I will use the keyboard if I am in a hurry, typing it is...

ram_cv I would any day prefer voice recognition over typing. But currently the quality of the voice recognition software is not great. So till they can scale up, I think we are stuck to typing. I do have a fantastic typing speed, so on the speed front I do not see...

nishant5n No, typing or transcribing by hands cannot be compared with speech recognition software. Normal speech is filled with hesitations, repetitions, changes of subject in the middle of an utterance, speedy voice, cough, sneezing, slips of the tongue,...

viju0410 Hi, I have always preferred for interesting novels and since it is interesting, I hardly bother whether it is inter active or traditional ones. Sometimes we feel so bored reading the same author's same style of writing.

melindasaysrawr Oh, my! What a question. It certainly makes you think doesn't it? I'm not sure if I would. Being able to turn on things with my thoughts only would be great, but would it change anything about me? My likes, dislikes, personality? I think it would all depend on...

estherlou The interactive novel would take more time, and also takes some effort. I like to read for entertainment, not have to work. If I wanted to help write the book, I'd just write one. And I'd probably never get finished with the story. Wouldn't quite be the...

Liliac26 I prefer traditional and I don't see it as passive. As long as I can interpret what I read, identify (or not) with the characters, have a critical opinion, come up with my own version of the story, fantasise about it and so on, I don't perceive the act of...

I used to not like my indecisiveness but lately after running into many pompous, arrogant, and sure individuals, I'm quite glad I'm not like them. I think some of the positive in indecisiveness is how careful I really take things...

When you want to write a book what should you do? how should you start writing? what should you write about? i would like to hear what you think

7 responses

Judy890 You need to ask why and who you are writing your book for. Once you prepare your mind for writing, you start writing. If it isn't right that's okay, because you can go back and "fine tune." You don't have to lock yourself in a closet to write. Just start by...
