With the advent of speech recognition in Microsoft Word - 2001? I spent many hours training the damn thing to recognize my speech. After a few initial hiccups I became quite fluent with the process of speaking and having my speech transcribed for me.
There are certain places you can't use this process, for instance the local Costa coffee shop. Well; you could... You could sit there talking to yourself, but you might get some funny looks and people might well be expecting a van to pull up, a couple of orderlies stepping out and sizing you up for a straight jacket.
No, it's not a good thing! If the urge to write visits me while I'm sat in the coffee shop I get out a notebook I carry with me for the odd occasion that this happens. Sometimes I end up writing on any old piece of paper. It's strange, but when an idea comes to you, you just have to get it out...
That's when I wrote the attached. It's been scratching around on my desk waiting for me to sit down and dictate it into a digital document with a speech recognition program.
Then I noted that someone said that chatty had the ability to translate handwritten text into digital text. So I took a picture of the document, exactly that picture you see there! I know what you're thinking you must be a doctor or something. No, I just didn't master the skill of cursive writing... But believe it or not, the thing is, chatty converted it in to digital text for me:-
