Ok yesterday was first time in a long
time that I've used my voice to actually write a blog post and I realise that I
say the words “and you know” and lots of things like that with my normal
conversation.
It seems that when I actually stop it
then does a new paragraph so that's something else that I've actually learnt
while doing this. So if I keep speaking continuously I just get one long stream
of text which I then obviously take home and put it into my word processor to to
punctuate it
So this looks like it may be
potentially I could actually do my blog posts. I can be a bit more disciplined
in it because now I know that when I finished speaking if I pressed return
that's a paragraph and obviously it's not just one massive text like I had to
do yesterday.
It's looking like a definite option so
will be publishing this today after I've actually tidied it and I've got
everything in there
One of my problems yesterday is that I
was talking and not looking at my phone and this actually meant that couple of
times I would think it was recording and it wasn’t. I would come to the end of
something and then I had to think whereabouts I was, what I needed to say, how
could I continue so but again it's like anything you've just gotta learn how to
actually use it to your benefit
In the middle of this I am walking
along Fenham Hall Drive and the pictures and the sunrise look quite I don't
know vaguely impressive but vaguely threatening as well. Hopefully I will put
in a link to this into my blog post but I am quite happy with what's actually
coming out of this and think that tonight's editing will be a lot easier than
yesterday's. Also going to publish it on Vocal as well which they'll hopefully
put on there and hopefully somebody will read it.
It’s quite impressive capturing things
you want you want to record, and yes it's easy to actually type but it's a lot
easier to speak. I much prefer talking to people on the phone or you know on a
video call then actually writing a text or an email.
Right I am now walking down towards St
James and St Basil's and they describe their garden is an oasis of calm. I like
walking down there in the morning so it's just a great start to the day it
means I've got a bit of walking in and I'm ready ready to hit the day
I've decided to drop my million steps
every 3 months target it's just because I've been doing it for so long. I will
still do at least 5000 steps a day which is basically more than 2 miles a day
but so there is a slight target there, but it means I will have more time to do
other things I enjoy.
So that's I'm going to wrap this up now.
I always put a piece of music in to accompany my post but it's more about doing
the writing so we will see what this looks like when I finally publish it
tonight.
Last week I was listening to a “Best Of”
Talk Talk so we sill go with “It’s My Life” from that album to accompany this.
My apologies if a lot of this doesn’t make sense of sounds like someone who can’t
even string a sentence together. It’s still very experimental and I am am still
learning have to use this to it’s best advantage.
Generally when you type you are fully
in control , but when you are dictating to software it is making a best guess
at what you are saying so you have to edit it. So that’s another step. We shall
see if I can do anything tomorrow.
Who Knows.
