  Talking and not typing for living

  Filed under Advertising, Jamaica

  As an online travel writer or blogger, as we are now known, I spend about as much time typing as I do traveling. One of the main reasons that I have not been writing much for this blog has to do with the fact that I type so much my wrists hurt almost all the time.

  I decided to take a look at the speech recognition software that has been built into Microsoft Windows Vista to see if it can help me with the amount of typing that I have to do. In less than 24 hours I have been able to setup and train my computer to understand voice commands which allow me to operate my computer hands free.

  It was a rather simple actually. I actually tried speech recognition software once before some years ago. I used a product called dragon naturally speaking that was a speech to text converter which allowed me to communicate with my computer using the microphone which then translated my audio input to text. The software built into windows is far more intuitive and easier to setup them the last software I tried to use. I have found that it makes very few mistakes and has a very diverse vocabulary with no words such as webmaster or carpal tunnel syndrome. My last experience with speech recognition software was horrible and I had a very difficult time training the software to understand my voice. Thus far I have had no issues with the software available in Windows Vista and I’m very impressed with how fast and easy it has been to get up to speed.

  Hopefully this new software will make working in Jamaica easier for me and allow me to create more blog posts and share more information with you my friends from around the world. With the built in translation services that this website offers I can now speak too people all over the world in their natural language. All I need now is a Jamaican patois version which understands wa gwan. Apparently the software can be trained to learn new words based on my voice input. As an example I had to teach the software the word WordPress which was not in its vocabulary. In the training process the computer recorded my voice and saves that data for later use. In the past 2 hours I have written a few 1000 words on three different websites and created hyperlinks inside those articles without using the mouse or keyboard for any function.

  This does not have much to do with Jamaica and but a lot to do with the way I will be managing this blog from this point forward. From now on the text you read here we’ll be written by machine from speech to text conversion using the software built into my laptop and Microsoft Windows Vista. If you do a lot are writing online or you’re looking for a way to save time on the computer am going to suggest to take a look at speech recognition software. Roddy
