So I&#8217;ve been wondering about this comma what could I do if I didn&#8217;t work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now all kinds of people including all of my relatives most of my friends tell me all of the time that I should not work so much. I mention that I did not ask any of these people their opinion? You see the issue isn&#8217;t that I can&#8217;t think of things to do instead of work. the point is that I like to work and the thought that I couldn&#8217;t do it anymore is a bit depressing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are a few drawbacks of \u00a0read and write for Google Chrome which you may have already detected. One is that it has a rather random view of capitalization. \u00a0I&#8217;m sure that if you read this post closely you can identify other drawbacks. for example like Siri it often misinterpret your words. I left most of the errors here so that you could see. I did fix a few where the sentence made absolutely no sense.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I found it works better if you speak more slowly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So far \u00a0it hasn&#8217;t been too bad. it was super easy to install and I figured out how to use the speech to text by watching 2 minute YouTube video.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand haha \u00a0that&#8217;s a joke since I only have one hand &#8211; \u00a0it seems like the only way to get the premium features is to be at a school that licenses those at the school or maybe classroom level. \u00a0right now I&#8217;m using the 30 day trial version. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The other problem I have found is that sometimes the microphone just randomly quits working. \u00a0toggle it off and on to fix Problem. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 2 move 2A new line All you need to do is say those words which ironically since I wanted actually those words in the sentence I had to take them otherwise it would have gone to a well you know.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> now if you read this you can see it kind of makes me look like a cross between a teenager using text-speak and someone with a very poor grasp of grammar and spelling. however I think that much of that could be improved with practice and getting 2 no the software better. we&#8217;ll see if with practice the voice recognition can be accurate at a faster speed because this slow pace is pretty annoying. the invisible developer just told me that I \u00a0sound like a bit from Find old radio show called the slow talkers of America.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New line I also think it would be really really difficult to write code using this with all of the special characters required like \u00a0square brackets and curly brackets parentheses etcetera etcetera.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After a few weeks tough trying this out I&#8217;m going to check out dragon I have a friend who is visually impaired who uses that so I&#8217;m going to ask her 2 show me because I&#8217;m sure she knows all of the special features as I believe she even used it to write her thesis..
