Because of my stupid Raynaud's Disease (a lot of insulin dependant diabetics get it this) I can't use my hands so my lovely kind nephew who works in IT, has installed a voice speak to text program on my computer, only the program don't like me as it can't understand my German/American/English accent & changes some of my words that I say, here's an example : Me program Six sex Ship sick Two/to/too flew Bone cone Gnome known Skye/sky high Little spittle Radio aerial It can be very embarrassing if I don't read the emails before I sent them, then there's my stupid mobile with that google voice that too hates my accent, But I have found a way to use an keyboard with my Raynaud's I have gone to the blind & partial blind shop & bought a big key keyboard, each key is roughly 1 half inches making it easy to to use when my hands are bad.
Oooh Tina - I have been imagining you with a Derbyshire accent! Isn't it strange that we all 'speak' so often, without knowing what we all 'sound' like.
I 'ates dem voice prog programs because they gave me a 'merrican haccent. Gorn back to proper keyboards an' ter 'ell wiv de typos. Cannot get a big key keyboard though as my table is too small.
You really really do not want to know what I sound like. The day someone told me I sounded like Princess Anne was the day I thought WHAAAAAAAAT?
I have been told - twice - that I sound like the Queen. This was from children used to Manchester accents - I suppose they weren't used to someone from the South!
I was born in Wirksworth a town in Derbyshire, then from 6 months old lived on a American airbase in Germany, then when I was 12 came back to England & lived in Newhaven Derbyshire until I was 20 then I went & lived in Skegness & moved back to Derby when I was 24, so my accents is mixture of all sorts.
I'm so fond of Derbyshire - I had always lived in the shadow of the Peak District until we retired here in '96 - not that we're that far away now. My OH is an alien though - he's a Mancunian!
Generations of my father's family were born in Heanor Derbyshire and an aunt of his lived in Wirksworth. My mother's family all come from around Ilkeston or Clay Cross. I'm a Nottinghamshire girl though as my parents moved to Watnall a few months before I was born.
I am a plain "just outside NW London" person who then emigrated a few thousand kilometres away just over 43 years later. Rather boring really - none of this gallivanting around like wot sum of you did.
So ladies & gentlemen yesterday in the Boxing day sales, I bought an multi language speak to text program, I had it put into my desktop computer my laptop, my tablet & mobile, but this one definitely hates me, as if took 32 attempt for it to recognize my voice & then I said the following : Me Breedia dog forum... Speak to text Easier dog porn (no not that porn) Me Breedia dog forum Speak to text Media dog forum Me Bl**dy breedia dog forum Speak to text Bendy porn (yes that type of porn) So I have now officially given up with speak to text & have gone back to my blind keyboard, it just takes me longer to write, but at least if spelt wrong then its Me that's spelt it wrong not a stupid program.
Our Tina is the cause of me having to clean my monitor so frequently due to reading some of her antics when I have a mouthful of coffee!
I won't tell you what it puts up when I said Facebook (does have porn in it) don't know who does these programs, because they don't work x
Well...you cured me of wanting one of those programs. It would never learn to talk like I do. Born in south florida(sort of southern accent)then to new jersey for several years(northern accent)then to California for a while(western hoity-toity)then to the indian reservation(mid-west)then back to florida. amid all that I've never lost the slight Yiddish accent of my grandparents. I think I would blow up the program.
