Have you tried paraffin for your tendonitis? My son gave me a Dr. Scholl's paraffin bath thingee for Christmas and it says its good for that.
Kathy
you doing your streching? angles right between arms and computer?
Wow Jim, that's really cool!
I wish I had a voice recognition thing which could get my legs up the stairs. lol... I really screwed up those muscles riding my bicycle and it takes ages getting better...
ok, enough with of that... I really hope that you get better really fast. It's been too long that you have been suffering from the tendonitis.
Best wishes to you, Marcia
I READ a book once! Oh, wait, that was on tape. Nevermind!
Hope the tendonitis gets better real fastly!
It's amazing that you've worked out both technologies and I'm sure it's caused you many frustrations along the way. But thanks so much for the update, as I'm fighting tendonitis in both arms (strange it's not in my legs of rest of my body).
However, I have been speed-typing for many years. I'm at the point of thinking I may need to give up my job if I don't manage to keep on top of it and your experiences have given me some positive spins on what else I could do. We sell Blackberries where I work and I never knew that had that type of software available (they're not my specialty but I was thinking of getting one).
It's been interesting watching your posts; sometimes word perfect; other times with ps editorial posts lol!!! I remember when you got the software so it's been great to watch your progress.
I hope your sx's lessen but big congrats to you for searching, finding, and almost taming an alternative.
How'd ya get the tendonitis? Back at the creme d'nuit, are we?
Yup, I really thought either you or she had gone off the rails a couple of times, what with the 'asymptomatic' instead of the 'a symptomatic'.
She's a gem, though, even if a bit klutzy. I'd say stick it out with her.
I second Winner about the drinking! There was some slurry stuff in there. It was fun for me but then I know how well you write when she's not around.
I thought you started drinking ! just kidding , jim sounds like a nice system , I hope you work out the kinks .
I think that when one doesn't have a choice, it's easier to adapt. ;)
that's interesting that someone would actually use it for writing something as complete as the book. I suppose the accuracy could be improved by using a very fast and dedicated computer, along with a top notch microphone, and of course practice. But even so, at least with me, that dictated word comes out so very different from the written word. more rambling and disjointed, etc. Maybe that's because I am so used to writing, let's say typing, my thoughts over the years. Maybe it's just what one is used to
Dragon Naturally Speaking seems to be the preferred voice rec software of the writers I know, some of whom have written multiple books using it. It does seem to take a bit of getting used to--on both sides.
I believe it's PC specific, though. I suppose it could be used on a Mac that has Windows installed.
In fact, I noticed a couple of times in other posts that the software deliberately said the opposite of what you intended because it took personal offense.
Smart cookie and worth checking out.
in the last sentence I meant "illiterate" not literate. I think maybe the software was offendedLO
