Do you utilize talk-to-text?

[Sceep]

I use talk to text a lot, especially when I am driving. But I also proof read that shit before I hit send.

What is the difference between talking then proofing or just typing it out correctly to start with? Either way you aren't paying attention to the road.

That's what the rumble strips on either side of my lane are for.

Proofreading?

Fuck that.

It’s their job to figure it out.

 

[Ummduh]

Never

 

[swtfman]

Nope. I only talk to my phone to control my home assistant stuff. Texts get typed out with punctuation and shit.

 

[subybaja]

I have all that shit disabled. I do use the Google assistant to answer calls

 

[RSWORDS]

I can't recall ever using talk to text. Maybe a few times when searching google while driving but not on a regular basis.

I have a buddy that sends rapid fire paragraph long texts via t-2-t that are most of the time incomprehensible. It takes me reading them 2-3 times to decipher them. My dad will get the same from him and call me and ask "WTF is he trying to say now?"

I do and absolutely suck at proof reading obviously. I also have a nice deep scar on my right thumb from a table saw that makes me hit the wrong letter. And again... I don't proof read before sending.

 

[Treefrog]

Nope. I did use text to speech for the few hours after getting my wisdom teeth removed.

 

[DannyK]

I've tried it maybe twice. It seems to fuck up too many words.

 

[1oddtech]

I just use it when i have no clue on how to spell something

 

[Boss]

Wife dose it all the time. I have no idea what she's saying half the time.

[Slander]

Right?

 

[DWT]

One of our sales guys does and he's pretty decent with it but sometimes it comes across messed up. I don't use it because I'm capable of texting and I use punctuation and grammar, sometimes correctly if you can believe that.

 

[Animalmother]

No, but there isn't a particular reason why. I never really thought about it but I could see how it could helpful when driving or something.

 

[Filthy McChevy]

I gave up on it. Used to try it while driving. It screws words up worse than auto wrong (what I call auto suggest)

 

[TrailTamer]

Yes.

I’m deaf. I use this whenever I can to listen in. I chitchatted with my uncle a bunch one day after showing him how to use voice to text! It was wonderful. He has an iPhone but treat it like a flip phone, send basic short texts, make phone calls, and ignore all texts people sent to him lol. I previously never get to have a one-on-one conversation with him as he doesn’t know ASL.

I enable the auto caption and transcription on Microsoft Teams for our meetings. It’s great… far better than none.

Auto caption improved greatly since last time I tried to watch crap on YouTube few years ago. It was horrible back then. A person say 1985 (which you’ll say nineteen eighty five), but the auto CC will say “19 80 5” and period or comma was nowhere to be seen, a major run on. Nowadays auto “AI” CCs is fantastic for stuff I want to watch or to listen in…

Same here, swipe keyboard/t2t 75/25% on a samsung note9

 

[TrailTamer]

Oh! Fairly recent I start to check my voicemails on my iPhone as theres transcription now…

[Captain Call]

Talk to text? Hell, I barely started texting a few years ago. I'm still catching up to modern society with phones.

 

[dunno]

Nope. I did use text to speech for the few hours after getting my wisdom teeth removed.

This sounds like a very entertaining time for your contact list

I think you got that backward. I had my phone speak for me.

 

[SomeGuyFromOlympia]

My talk-to-text is the teenage daughter that sits in the passenger seat doing it for me

I respond verbally with:What the fuck to they think that is going to do? Are they complete morons? fucking idiots
translate text: Might want to check that before you do it

 

[[486]]

processing is usually done "in the cloud" so... fuck that shit even if I figured it'd help

 

[Weasel]

Teams for work I do, the google version seems to work well enough. The other version are crap. I try to avoid texting anyways.

 

[M92PV4U]

No.
