Ibexx:

Sorry Ibexx,

How politically incorrect of me. May be one of these days are will learn to watch wath I say more closely. Especially considering i am actually dictating this message.

I am using IBM's ViaVoice software. While it is an improvement over the sock were (sic) that should have read "software I" used a couple of years ago, it is still a little rough around the edges. However, I have not sufficiently trained at and it is constantly nagging need me for more trading which I will do at my leisure.

One nice thing about this though is that it eliminates spelling mistakes, although it does miss the occasional word I would say one out of every 20. Could be worse could be better. It is by no means ready for prime time at this point.

If anyone has any questions about this software that you would like to ask me please feel free. I should be fair to the soft weren't software and mentioned (the tense error there is a result the software trying to compensate for my "spoken grammar" which was correct but wrongly interpretted that I am using it in a rather noisy place with a television and airconditioner creating a large amount of background noise.

Sorry if this post is a little hard to follow, I am still trying to get used to the voice interface. It really is a change from the way we're used to doing things on a computer. It is a little awkward at first and having to go back and correct words is tiresome.
