Question for writers

that's so amazing, i really want that i type fast but to talk would be a great way to write, cause i even record my dialogues, can't imagine to write the whole book like that

Hi Lowell, is it possible to have a free trial before you buy it? I think this software will do very well for some people, but not for the rest. I used to work for a boss who was partially blind. He used a software similar to what you have described to dictate his email and letters. It worked rather well for him. I think it is good if you can try out for at least a week before you commit to it. If you have problem with certain pronounciation, I think the software will spell out all the wrong words.

i have heard about it. well, i would still like to hear the sound of keyboards as i type the words. while each letter is being typed, the train of thoughts just keeps on going. at times, writing through typing on keyboard is a way to talk back with ideas. it is also the process of filtering and refining ideas that need to be expressed and get out of our minds. well, each one of us has preference and we work on the ways that deliver for us. goodluck.

For me, those speaking programs aren't worth it. For some reason, I can flow from my mind to my fingers with more ease. If I'm speaking it, I usually pause a lot and say the wrong words. So it's just not efficient for me. I hope others have better luck with it.

Here is a discussion I was in about three months ago that may be helpful http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2415202.aspx I hope it helps.

I had actually wanted to get something like that, so that I could exercise,make things, or do some other multi task, improving efficiency. Plus, I tend to fumble with my fingers sometimes when typing, and I think I would do better by speaking. Plus the creative flow would be better, as you have said; none of that lapse between saying and typing.
