So as of late I've been doing some voice to a text dictations for this blog. I find it helpful that I can just go and talk about what I wanna talk about rather than worry about whether or not it's grammatically correct, or how does this sound typed out -- it's really just me talking. Also, it doesn't take nearly as long as sitting down and actually typing out an entry -- despite the fact that I do have to say all of my punctuation as I go. Also, there's not that second phase where I go in and edit everything I've just typed, even though I'm still going in and editing everything I've said... mainly just for cohesion.
Tonight, I was talking to Travis and Laura about this. I told them that I feel like a talk show radio DJ when I'm dictating, like Don Imus or Tom Likus. I suppose mainly just because I have this microphone in front of my mouth, and this little headphone so that I can be sure taht I'm speaking clearly. The only problem I think, is that don't have that list of topics for the evening and, of course on top of that, I don't have people calling in and talking to me about their opinion on said topic -- which always helps to move the conversation forward... or at least fill time.
However, if I did have a list of topics, there would be no end to the amount I said, I suppose. I'm not really sure though, perhaps I could talk forever and perhaps I would peter out after a point. Most likely I would peter out at a point, I'm sure.
What I should try some night, is getting someone in a conversation with me while I'm wearing this. That would be interesting. Of course, then you would only get half of the conversation -- namely my half. But that's really all you're here for anyway right?
Ah, self-deluded narcissism. The best kind! |
