I was sitting at home once, doing nothing – a rare event – I switched on the telly and there was an episode of Ellen DeGeneres. She had a mock-up of a hands free device, showing how its not just hands-free driving that a person can gain. She showed juggling babies, pots and pets. It was rather hilarious – if not quite true. It is true however, that technological inventions are doing much to make life easier.
Transcription software is one such innovation that is on the rise. Not quite perfect – yet – it is already a handy tool for many a busy person to use.
It isn’t necessarily a one-stop-solution to all jobs, but the benefits of speech-text technology are numerous, not only does it, save time, make getting from A to B in a car, whilst talking on a phone, less risky, but there are health benefits to be gained from a hands-free environment.
I’m sure many a person can relate to that uncomfortable feel of sitting at a desk for long periods at a time, the tension in your neck and back, RSI (repetitive strain injury) in your fingers and wrists from typing a hundred words a minute.
Hands-free – saves you from some of this as you can talk into text from any position. In addition being detached from your desk gives you the freedom to move around.
Meeting the 10,000 steps recommended a day to achieve optimum health!
