Brief Explanation For Silence
I’ve not been around much the last few days, because a new symptom in my ongoing health problems has turned up – my left eyeball keeps spasming (as well as me having a nervous tic in my left eyelid). This has made it near-impossible to concentrate on writing.
I hope to have the next part of my long-delayed How We Know What We Know series up tonight or tomorrow, a Doctor Who post in the next couple of days, and a Beach Boys one, but it all depends on my health.
I hope, in general, to get this blog back on track more, with longer essays again rather than the brief hit-and-run pieces I’ve done recently. The new Doctor Who book will hopefully appeal to those who liked An Incomprehensible Condition and Sci-Ence!, but I need to get a handle on it.
Sorry to hear that. On the off chance you haven’t, have you considered speech recognition software? A friend was using Dragon (I think) the other day and apparently they’re rather good these days.
Personally I communicate better through my fingers and you might be the same.
Thanks, but it’s only been happening for a couple of days, and I have every confidence it’ll get better in the same amount of time.
As for speech-recognition software, I can type *far* faster (and more coherently) than I can talk. Also, I try wherever possible to use Free (as in freedom – I don’t object to paying) Software, and I don’t believe there are any good Free speech-to-text programs yet.
But thanks for the thought.
Good-oh. I’m mildly surprised there’s no good text-speech program from the open/free arena given so much accessibility stuff comes from there. Will keep an ear open.
