A few days later, and the accuracy of this software has gotten better. But I still don't think I can realistically use of for transcription - as you see. There are just enough mistakes that going back in correcting them will take as much time as taking it in the first place (and that should be "typing"). And most of the mistakes are insidious - minor grammatical things that are hard to pick up skimming.
Buying and string a fast type this
I am extremely fast typist, so unless I am actively trying not to use my hands, this software is not a huge benefit for me.
The other strange thing is that it is hard for me pose my fonts strictly in my hand
The other strange thing is that it is hard for me to compose my thoughts strictly in my head. I am very much of visual writer - I need to see the words in front of me. I like to rearrange my sentences after they have already been written. I guess I could get used to this, but I find myself staring blankly at the screen, uncertain what to say next. And by the time I am done making corrections, I have lost my train of thought.
It's back to the keyboard for me.
