Cerulean Cordillera

I am currently writing this blog post using a program that I have found called Dragon NaturallySpeaking. This program is pretty cool, what it does is that it basically turns my speech into text that appears on the page. If I get good at using this program. Then I should be able to enter text into a computer much faster than typing. I currently type at about 100 WPM. The average human talking speed is about 150-160 WPM. Of course the problem is that since I am so used to typing. I cannot form thoughts and organize them in such a clean way when operating at talking speed. this is also the reason why I am not very articulate when talking in real life.

This is an idea that I am going to try out. The idea is that if I do all my typing on a computer using this program. Then I would also be at the same time training myself to be more articulate in my talking. Already right now since I am using this program to type, I am stumbling over and making a lot of mistakes and having to correct them. The exercise feels difficult already, it feels as if there’s some sort of limiter to my thinking and I cannot think as freely as I usually could if I do not talk at the same time.

Nevertheless, I am very impressed at how accurate this program is. Just about everything I say is recorded with pretty much 100% accuracy. Of course sometimes the program stumbles a bit, but most of the time the trouble I have seems to be my own inability to articulate and say the meanings that I want to say. Still when the program messes up, I try to correct it. I’ll probably miss some of these mistakes at times, so be prepared for some very strange typos in my blog posts.

That will be it for now, we’ll see how this goes.
