Blah, blah, blah

I still have trouble typing in an email message on my i-phone. I find the keys to be too small or my fingers too big and so too often Jot becomes Kot, Does comes out as Foes you gat, I mean get, the idea. To the credit of the phone it usually picks up the error and self corrects, unless of course the mis- typed word is in fact a word, then things could get interesting.

Not too long ago I discovered the microphone key. Simply by pressing the key and as long as you speak S-L-O-W-L-Y and succinctly your words will remarkably appear on the screen. No typing, or retyping, amazing!
I do tend to think that when I use this shortcut I am not doing my job as a technophile, shouldn't I be practicing to strengthen my thumbs while acquiring speed and accuracy?

I downloaded an app that allows me to develop flashcards as I try to learn Italian. In an attempt to kill two birds, I started to use the recording device to eliminate the typing while practicing my pronunciation. Well this part of Flashcard needs work. Instead of LA PIENA (full) the software translated my voice to BLAH PTRA which is Greek to me!
