Too much fun!

I have discovered a new technology. It has to do with speech dictation. I'm actually using it right now to write this post. It hears me perfectly. I have a microphone built into my computer so I use that to speak into the computer. The program is a free download called e-speaking. What is great about this program is that I can write my papers without having to type. I talk faster than I can type. I still don't have all the commands memorized, but it is fun to talk to my computer and see it type when I say something to my computer. I can also use this program to open and close windows and to move to different windows. I can close my computer and open it. For now it has gotten everything I've said correctly. I don't think I will use this as my project, but it will help me when I think out loud and outline papers.

I think I'm having too much fun talking to my computer. Telling it what to write and watching it happen without me unfolding my arms is really cool to watch. The more I talk the more it recognizes my voice. I'm going to end my post and maybe start on my lesson plan for this class.
