My new smart phone writes good.

[rayheinrich]

will it dictate expletives.? the fuck you say.

How the fuck could I have missed testing that?
Thank you billy.

If someone had asked me, "If you forgot to test your fucking dictation
software's fucking ability to fucking capture fucking expletive reproducibility,
who would you fucking think would be the fucking first to fucking inform
you of such?"; I, unhesitatingly, would have said, "fucking billy".

I am off to test this, will report back.

i used to be a homophone but i'm okay now.
which phone robot is ot i think apple have sirus, i've yet to try it. tried the one on windows and it gets everything wrong.
it sounds like it would be good for train of thought diction in the hopes of getting a few good lines out to work with. i'm bad with pen and paper, which translates into i'm hopeless for writing things down. i may give the phone a try.

I didn't make that clear, should have.

My new phone is an Android based one. Android(read Google) has a half-decent voice-to-text app
that you get with the phone, but that's not the one I was talking about.

The company Nuance sells a keyboard called "Swype Keyboard".  It costs $ 0.99 U.S.
at the 'Google Play' site. Nuance bought the company that produced Dragon speech
recognition software a while back and they decided to include a version of Dragon with
the keyboard app. Dragon costs $70 to $150 if you get it for a Microsoft Windows
computer (which my wife uses) so I thought this would be a dumbed-down version.
But it's not. It's better than my wife's PC version. Who knows... but if you have an
Android phone you should try it out.

P.S. And billy, just in case you should ever take my jabs too seriously,
I want you to know that you wrote the best poem I've seen this year:

Her greeting card dropped through the box
to lay on the obvious gas and electric bills;
I tried to catch them mid fall and failed.
I remember my indecision on which one to open first.
The bills were laid to rest on the taffeta table cloth,
and the letter opener which had a silver strawberry atop
the handle, went to work.
I smelled crimson off the red lettering;
saw her love of calligraphy in the hand.
Will be home soon with Sean and the baby.
