Talking TO your Phone

Do you send text messages? Of course you do, anybody reading this was either born into a world where texting is the norm or has adapted to it. I've adapted to it.

Do you type or do you let the AI in your phone type the words you speak? For a lot of reasons, I regularly lean on the speech-to-text feature of my phone. The messages make me seem drunk too many times. Words I did not say get sent.

Either I mumble ( probably do ) or/and the AI is just not that good yet. The AI should get better, because I'm not getting clearer.

Also spell check does not help.

People will ask me if they can reschedule a meeting or they will apologize for some small thing, and because I am a man of the moment ( or of a few moments ago ) I send them back np ( which cool people taught me stands for "no problem".)

Of course the spell-check on my phone converts that to NO as a reply making it seem like I am very upset.

I'm so lazy sometimes I don't even fix it. Lazy is how I started using speech-to-text so this was predictable.

What has your experience with this technology been like?
