I was just reading your pinned, and wondering, if you're willing to share, what dictation software you've had good experience with? Its something that would occasionally help me, but it ends up with so many typos or mistakes needing correction that Im overusing my hands anyway. /Do you have any other tips, diction, maybe speed, idk, that helps? Maybe theres a specific method to it?
Im trying to imagine what a blahaj costume looks like, it sounds cozy I think. Hope you have a great time with it :)
I used two types of dictation software, I use dragon dictate on my laptop and the inbuilt Apple voice control on my phone and iPad. There are some differences between them but I find them about the same in terms of accuracy. The main difference is that Dragon is incredibly expensive
Using them is definitely one of these things that gets easier over time, When I first started using them five or six years ago it was really hard with a steep Learning curve. There were a lot of commands to memorise and you have to learn to talk very differently than you would if you're talking to a person. I find it's most accurate when you speak with absolutely no emotion or Tone, like you're reading out loud the most boring text you can think of. I found this easier for academic texts, but it's still weird when I'm writing social media posts using contractions and slang.
On my phone I recommend using voice control (in the accessibility settings) rather than the dictation option on the keyboard, even if you're only using it for dictation, because it's a lot easier to go back to correct mistakes with your voice using voice control over the dictate button.
I'm not entirely sure what the voice control situation is like on android phones. I used to have one, but moved to Apple because at the time it was a lot better. I also think that there might be in built voice control options for Windows computers now, but I don't have any experience with these at all.
I hope this is helpful, and if you have any more questions feel free to ask.:-)
