Chasing the Dragon

This year’s project is Dragon Naturally Speaking software, an attempt to write more by talking to my computer. I have it up and running, and it’s already approximating what I said. It merely has to be better at transcribing my words than my dicklike fingers, which is a low bar. Please wish me luck.

I hope that you bring it swiftly under control, and it doesn't take to posting for you when you're not looking.

Best of luck with it! All I learned in my attempt a decade or so ago is that spelling "historiographical" is slower than finger-pecking the letters, since the software never did learn to distinguish between that and "historiography." Too long, probably. (Since then, my tendons have improved, fortunately.)

Luck! It does get better as you train it.
