Voice to Text

I will admit that though I try and keep up somewhat with the latest technology, I often fall short.  So while this post may be old news to some of you reading it,  I learned something new and fun about my smart phone today.

First of all, I think texting definitely has its place in the communication world.  There are times that I just want to have a short conversation, or maybe need to say something quietly to someone at work.  In these instances, being able to text rather than talk on the phone is a distinct advantage.

However, typing on the little qwerty keyboard can be frustrating and time consuming, and then there is the dreaded auto correct!

What I learned today is that I can speak text into my phone.

See the little microphone symbol to the left of the space bar.  If I press it, I can speak short sentences, and my phone will convert it to text - Cool!

My son passed this information on to my daughter, and she told me.  Since it was new to her as well, I don't feel too out of it.  What is that they say - old dog, new tricks.  I love learning things!
