Speech to text apps? I have been using it for sometimes, basically when works need me to re-type large amount of text. It does help. But so far I only have it on my Android phone, since I have no microphone attached the the PC and laptop. I create the text on my phone, save it as a text file, send it to PC or laptop.

What app are you using? In terms of the PC I like Read a Loud, because it's free and it works, but I've grown a little more paranoid about browser plug-ins more recently and keep it contained to a dedicated instance. Nuance Dragon would be nice, partially because you could use that in tandem with Fade In and simulate a table read.

I use Write by Voice from UXAPPS LTD. It recognizes Indonesian language greatly.

Thanks for recommendation.

Same! Wrote the name of the app down. Might be useful in the future. Thanks!

You don't think differently if you speak?

Yes, it's funny that you ask this, I often find that, sometimes when I'm talking about something, my mind can wander between the possibilities in what I want to say and the alternative sentences that I can use to express the idea, and at the same time considering the impact that I'm expecting and what I might get. It's something that is sometimes exciting, which can sometimes lead to conversations becoming longer than expected.

Regarding the use of the app, more precisely, I read the text to the app, which have been huge amounts of photos of work-related texts. In the past I have tried an app that offers the ability to convert images of text (ie documents photos) into text, -I forget the name of this app- but I didn't find it helpful, because the very poor conversion on a not bad quality photo, means that it requires extra work to correct the conversion result, which could mean all the words, so what's the point? Wouldn't it be better for me to type them myself? Well, then speech to text technology came along, which is very helpful.

It's years ago I used it and I notice that if my brain has room to wander of the story is different but this also happens if I have to speak out loud. There's an extra step which changes the entire story, not that I have story in mind but that happens if I have to formulate it.

Perhaps I give the talking a chance one day, although I don't see myself writing letters and e-mails with it.
Thanks for explaining what is possible. I am far behind if it comes to technology perhaps it's helpful if I can no longer lift a finger and am blind? What do you think?

Sweet dreams

Ha! This made my mind wander back in time. Back in the 90s, Indonesia witnessed the springtime of the success of adapted novels from renowned authors such as Agatha Christie, Sydney Sheldon, Enyd Blyton, and others. At that time there was a series of adventure novels that offered different possibilities for storylines. I once read, among others, the adventure story of a group of pilots in space, after the story runs a few pages, they find two alternatives, the reader decides which alternative to take, each alternative points to a specific page of the novel. Likewise, each alternative chosen will later also experience the same thing, the story branches out and finds different reactions to each different decision made by the reader. And of course, and that's the fun of it: all possibilities can be explored.

Perhaps I give the talking a chance one day, although I don't see myself writing letters and e-mails with it.

I guess these kind of apps only good for re-typing of the large amount of text. I also know some writers use a recorder to record ideas that suddenly come to mind. They always have these mini-recorders (like journalists have) nearby, because it's easier to capture ideas while it's still "warm" than to write them down.

... perhaps it's helpful if I can no longer lift a finger and am blind?

Haha.
