TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I'm looking for people who use (or have used) a computer dictation tool to
write papers. As part of a technical writing class, I am writing a paper
on automatic speech recognition and its implications for technical
writing; notes from the field would make excellent additions to my report.
If you have worked with a dictation tool and you'd like to help out,
please answer the following questions:
What dictation tool did you use?
Are you using it now? If not, when did you use it?
What did you like best about the tool?
What did you like least about the tool?
Do you feel dictation helped you in your writing?
Do you feel dictation changed your writing style or effectiveness?
Thanks for any help you can give. I'll post a summary of responses to the
list, in case anyone else is interested.
Yours truly,
Eric Willard SNOE
