Explanation of blog content problems:

I use the following software:
JAWS (job axis with speech) verbal screen reader.
DRAGON NATURALLY SPEAKING
J- SAY

J-say couples the other two programs together so that I can issue virtually any command in any program and the computer will do it without my touching the keyboard. I dictate everything this way too.

The computer would usually get similar sounding words printed correctly.
My son is in the sun.
Their house is over there.

Son, Sun, there, and their were printed correctly.
Quite often it can not do that. It will print a word that sounds correct to it. When I have the computer read the message back to me it reads it's phonetically correctly. I say Iraq and it prints I rack.
It sounds correct to me.
Break & brake
Sent & scent
To, too, and two

Sometimes when I say comma meaning for it to print comma it prints the word, "comment" because I do not pronounce it the same way every time.

That should be enough to get the point across. It is almost a certainty you'll see words that clearly do not belong but if pronounce phonetically they will sound as if they do belong.

Punctuation is often strange. I have the system set to read some punctuation. When I have the system read back to me there is a slight hesitation after a period just as there is in normal speech. When it encounters a question mark the last word has a slight upward inflection. Most of the time punctuation errors are mine but it is nice to have the computer to blame it on.

For instance. I distinctly remember the teacher in elementary school that told us when you have a list of items in a sentence separated by commas and come to the last item with the word "and" before it you never put a comma before the word "and". That no longer seems to be the case.

Sometimes I forget to put that, in. Sometimes my grammar checker tells me to put it in and sometimes it doesn't. Undoubtedly there are other similar type mistakes.

Capitalization is another problem. My grammar checker usually tells me when my program had a difficult time deciding to capitalize the first letter in a sentence. I suspect it is also capitalizing things in other places to.

I could catch every type of mistake described above. To do so I would have to switch to character mode and go through the entire document character by character. I do not have the patience to do that.

I will universally apologize right now for the discomfort you have when reading my blog.
