I’d love to be able to use my free time to blog, but I don’t really type very well. Do you know any tricks I can use to help me blog?

I was speaking to a friend at work and this question came up. It prompted me to point him at a post I made on my other blog and talks about how you can use Dragon NaturallySpeaking to transcribe your speech into a blog post. In fact, here’s a short video I posted that demonstrates the idea:

I thought that was pretty cool and I managed to do that after only a few minutes of training. Now, it’s really easy to achieve 150 words per minute with this technology even if you don’t know how to type. I thought that was awesome. Ok, you might need to teach it how to spell a few word; I’m pretty sure “orovo detox” isn’t in it’s dictionary for example; but those words will be the exception rather than the rule.
