Is Dictation Still A Thing?

Let’s not even start on whether speech recognition in dictation has taken off yet!

With the proliferation of Alexa and Google devices in the home and voice assistants on your phone and in a lot of car entertainment systems it seems the idea of voice as an input method may not be dead, I’m not sure we’ll see a return to the Olympus device on every desk but…..

One article that caught my eye as a useful tip for those with Apple watches was this, Your Apple Watch Is Great for Taking Quick Voice Memos. The idea of taking down some notes or recording a conversation (with permission!) straight from the device strapped to your wrist and then having the results sync’d to your other (Apple) devices seems a great idea.

And while we’re on the topic, going back to the first point. Does anyone use the native dictation functionality within Microsoft Word to dictate their documents at all? If so let us know how it works for you in the comments!
