Voice to text

We are having lots of fun today....OK, I'm not sure if fun is the proper description, but we are definitely being challenged. Using the vocabulary from Moby Dick, the boys are making vocabulary tables, which will be cut into cards for a matching game. The hard part of the task is that they are inputting the words into a chart using Dragon Naturally Speaking software. Dragon changes spoken words into text. Hehehe, unfortunately, the words are really hard for the program to recognize; therefore, Ben has to train the program to recognize each one. Josh is working the keyboard and mouse, while Ben is speaking into microphone and reading the words and their meanings. Doing this together makes the work is harder than doing a three legged race because they have to watch and listen for each other to know when to do their parts. I'm certain that the task could be completed quickly and easily if they were to type the information, but using the software makes it more fun and challenging.
