We’ve entered the land of the lazy. Today, people don’t want to have to type anymore. Now it’s all about speech recognition software. Just open up your mouth and start talking. Well, that’s fine, but there is a very big difference between writing an article through typing and writing one through speech recognition software and most people don’t realize what a drastic difference it is and how it can seriously affect the quality of your article. This article, which I typed, is going to explain.

First of all, let me start off by saying that I do own speech recognition software, but I rarely use it. The reason is because of what I just said above. There is a big difference. So okay, let me explain.

The biggest difference that is obvious is the speed. With speech recognition software you can speak at about 120 words a minute with normal speech. Some people can speak even faster. With typing, you’re talking about 60 wpm if you’re pretty good. I type at around 35 wpm, so I’m pretty slow. But what exactly does typing slow as opposed to speaking fast actually do to the quality of your article?

When you type slowly, you actually give your mind a chance to think about what it’s going to say simply because you can’t keep up with your thoughts when typing. So it forces your mind to slow down. This in turn forces you to think slower and when you do that, you think more clearly. How many times has something come out of your mouth and you wish you could take it back because your mouth actually works faster than your brain?

If you were to write the same article using speech recognition software and then typing it out, you would find that the article would be quite different in style, tone and delivery. If you’re not a natural speaker, this can tur into a real nightmare for your transcribed written word. My spoken articles are so-so at best. My written ones are much better.

I’m not saying you can’t become good with software, but it’s not going to be an instant thing. It will take time and you need to be aware that there is a big difference between typing and speaking your articles.

To YOUR Success,
