Chapter 6 - Audio

I find reading to be quite interesting because it's very easy to simply read and understand. But speaking and listening is very much different it seems almost harder because there's so much more expression, not only in the face but in the voice. I could say one sentence with a smile on my face and people might take it as a joke or as something funny where as if I said it in a darker tone, with a different facial expression it could be taken in a different way.

Another thing that's very interesting is that when I'm reading, it's very smooth and nicely put together, but when I'm speaking it's almost jagged, rough and spaced out. For example right now I'm not actually typing like I usually would. I'm speaking using the audio function on my phone.

I've never tried using it before and my voice is very very inconsistent. Probably because I'm not used to speaking everything like this, usually I write it down and then read it and once I've done some editing, then I'll present my thoughts.

So far I really like using the audio function, it usually takes me quite a while to type out my thoughts and ideas but now that I can just speak without having to type. Yeah I think I'll definitely use it a lot more. Except I definitely have to do some editing because oh my goodness the auto correct that my phone is trying to use is hilarious!

It's very interesting to watch as it tries to hear what I'm saying it puts in a word, but then changes it using the context of the sentence. It's quite impressive to see how far technology has come!
