Adam Driver is also a prettt solid and well-rounded actor. Often overlooked in discussions about "bests" and whatnot.

How come you never have my back, bra?

Is it because I, like, literally never have yours?

Can't you turn the autocorrection function off, Cupertino?

I could, but then you'd see a whole shit load of other kinds of mistakes. Also, I use shortcuts. It's one of the reasons I can be such a prolific poster using nothing but my phone.

I don't think I've even visited this site on my laptop or desktop since about 2012.

you could just speak into it, you know?

The tech isn't quite there yet to do that and have it really work. Trust me, auto-transposing entire paragraphs would be extremely useful for me at work. Actually, I've heard the software is out there. It's just expensive. I do use voice to text from time to time, but only when I know exactly what I'm going to say beforehand.

what? just enable dictation on your phone. that's what I'm doing right now. then just add the punctuation manually.

actually, there is a way to edit punctuation by dictating to the machine. where have you been this whole century?

but ok yeah i'm more comfortable w/ a full keyboard. not the thumb-sized shit on a phone though. for that i'd rather dictate.

Batman should not have a lisp. Nothing against the sibilant and fricative challenged but damn did it suck.

Yah, I know, you butt... sniff... queef! (dammit)

My point the software isn't "there" yet. It's not seamless. If it was, I'd never record and transcribe another interview again. But it's not.

Like, yes, it works, but it's really far from perfect. I'm using it right now actually. And in fact you can please punctuation by simply saying the word "comma" or "period." So where have YOU been this last century?

Baaahahahahaha

But now I'm not using it, becauze it only stays on for so long. There's a little button on my iPhone for it.

It works better than it used to though. Maybe by now there's a third part app that really takes it to the next level. But on my got, using voice-to-text for an interview would be hell. You'd have to ask the person you're interviewing to give prompts when they're done speaking, and you'd have to start saying things like "Enter" and "unquote" and ask your subjects to do the same thing.

Now what I would REALLY love is an application that takes a recording and converts it to text. I have a friend who is a courtroom recorder, and she says there is software that does this, but it's expensive as fuck.

I like my little iPhone keyboard too. I love the click sounds. It's a pleasure to use really, and the whole experience has some a long way since the early touchscreen keyboards.

I can't really use an iPad for the life of me though. I mean, I can, it's just slow going. They have yet to find the optimal size tablets and its accompanying keyboard. iPad mini is a bit better. iPad Pro is ok, but the former is a little small for some things and the latter is a little big for a lot of other things.

LOL @ "dick tater" by the way.
Hahahah.

[!@#$%!]

yah i used to have dragon.... 6? 7? in the late 90s. man that was a piece of shit. especially with my accent. siri understands me better these days.

the commas work but the period or question mark not always. sometimes the sentence repeats itself instead. ha!

but yeah the ipad: i do 98% of my work on the ipad these days. i only have to dust off the massive brick known as the macbook pro for certain specific tasks. otherwise it's all ipad. the trick is to put a logitech keyboard on it. it's a bit small but you get used to it. the greatest thing is that it weighs fucking nothing. well i gotta go eat ice cream and watch more war and peace. fucking excellent.

I have a Logitech keyboard but it doesn't have a number pad. I wish Apple made a version of their desktop keyboard (so thin and sleek and comfy) that was Bluetooth instead of USB. I'd buy that shit for the iPad Pro I use for work.

I love my MacBook Pro though. I just love it. I don't use it all the time, usually just for working from home and watching tv in bed, but it's a thing of beauty and a very nice experience.

Anyway....
Just had oral surgery.... high as fuck on painkillers.... *loosens belt* ... think I'm gonna go kill of the last episode of American Gods and try not to American Nod off.

(Drugs are bad though)

[!@#$%!]

episode 2 of war and peace was amazing and homemade butter pecan rules--- but anyway

YES you can pair an apple keyboard w/ the ipad via bluetooth. i do that when i hang the ipad on the wall (for a standup desk) or i put it on a bookstand.

i used to have a numberpad attachment to that keyboard too, also works via bluetooth, but haven't tested on the pad because it was ages ago.

what you can't have is a mouse i think. you still have to put the finger on the ipad for a lot of functions. but there are a ton of keyboard shortcuts (cmd-H for home and so forth)

My Surface Pro works great as a tablet and laptop. Food for thought.
