Daizey 0 #1 December 21, 2003 I realized a few days ago that my computer has this neat feature on it that allows me to speak while it types for me. Ive heard of programs like this before and thought, sweet! so i started training it by going threw the excerpts of stories it had me read... Well, tonight i gave it a try with a paper i had been working on for philosophy...I've sat with this computer for a few hours training it, but either my speech is really screwed up or this computer has a mind of its own...either way im not so sure this program is so beneficial-im pretty sure my philosophy professor would prefer the typed paper over the spoken one Heres an excerpt from the paper and the computers translation of it....its quite...confusing lol. My paper- Philosophers examine our assumptions and thoughts about why we do what we do, why we believe what we believe, our values, morals, and much more. To do this, philosophers deal with three basic questions. The first question deals with the philosophical field of epistemology, the theory of knowledge. This question is “What do I know?” The second question deals with the field of ethics or morals, knowing what is right and what is wrong. This question is “What should I do?” Lastly, the third question deals with the field of metaphysics, beyond the unnatural. This question is “What is the meaning of life and my place in the universe?” Philosophers use reason, rational analysis, argumentation, logic, and critical thinking to deal with these questions. This differs from the way most people approach things. For example, most people, when dealing with these problems would use answers from their own thinking. Philosophers however, have to try and figure out what everyone else or even what just one other person is thinking. computers translation- The La Russa million dollars from And the about 1mi. the, why remove the holy, now rebellion, morals, They’re much more.

Its just reading storiesand stuff-theyre kinda interesting...though my parents did think i was a little weird for talking to my computer the other night... *daizey* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

newshooter12 0 #10 December 21, 2003 reminds me of my college buddy who used "Dragon Naturally Speaking" Long story short he couldn't type all that quickly so he'd use the program and corrected the errors when he was done. Until we started trying to get him to do it after he'd been drinking... twas fun. especially saying a word or two in the background while he was talking to it... he'd yell at us to stop or quit it and that would end up part of the paper too. vicious circle.
