I tried converting to text a paragraph or two from a dVR copy of Wolf on CNN today with enhanced Dictation

This first one is a somewhat corrected version.
begin quote from Wolf today on CNN:

 Watching from around the world thanks very much for joining us on the White House investigation direction forward lawmaker leaving house investigations should stay helm. Sean Spicer just wrapped up today's White House press briefing the investigation should stay the White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer just wrapped up today's White House press free to babysit this is no reason for the hospital Devon Nunez is himself from the Russian investigation spices that he hasn't no new details  on Nunes’  investigation  visit to the White House last week of user information this is visit to the White House last week video surveillance as to who granted him access to the White House and he said the president is willing to engage with lawmakers on the new healthcare reform bill. The Investigation of intelligence  chairman Nunes rejected calls from Democrats and out please some Republicans recuse himself from the investigation.

The talking at CNN is too fast for the “enhanced Dictation” to keep up with

I will do the above at regular speed to show you how well it does at full talking head speed with Wolf Blitzer: I won’t correct it at all to show you it is just too fast for the “Enhanced dictation” to respond to
begin quote:
Russia is not that much for joining us at the White House at the washer should go forward a lot of age-related house investigation should stay at the home office secretary Sean Spicer just wrapped up to the White House press release intelligent German Avenue does directions himself from the Russia investigation spices areas details I'm new to this visit to the White House last week to view surveillance and don't grant access to the White House and he says the president is willing to engage with on the new healthcare reform bill first onto the Russian investigation the house intelligence German noodles rejected calls from them and that's enough please some Republicans Surely should use himself from the investigation into Russian video 2060 presidential election among the unanswered questions exactly clear new have to go on the White House grounds so they could meet with the source of using intelligence reports something like else was asked about once again today look into how she knew this was clearly hey giving information to your money for that just holds it again I don't have anything for you on on that at this time but again I don't I am asking you questions I've not answered yet I'm just you end partial quote.

end quote from Today’s Wolf on CNN with Wolf Blitzer.

I added more than the top paragraph partly edited from my DVR of Wolf starting at 10am PDT in California on Wednesday March 29th 2017.

First wolf is talking and then in the 2nd “enhanced Dictation” there is an exchange with Sean Spicer and a reporter in the White House. So, if you use enhanced dictation it can possibly be more confusing than just typing what you want to say at times because there are so many variables like turning Intelligence Chairman into “intelligent German” for example. you have a word (these are real words) but if you don’t know who is talking for sure and what is actually being said it makes no sense. It is sort of like saying: “I’m about sure you know what I’m talking about” but there just isn’t enough information to know what you are talking about because a few key words are changed. So the whole meaning of what you are talking about if proper nouns and names are screwed up. Then later if you go in not knowing what you were talking about you cannot correct it at all unless you have a paper text you were quoting from or a DVR or tape recording of what you were converting to text.

For example, one idea I have is to tape record what you are saying “if you are dictating a book or term paper for example, while enhanced dictation is converting all this to text. This way if you are confused when reading the text you still have an original copy of your voice with which to correct any errors in the final text you decide to publish or turn into your teacher or college professor so he or she doesn’t just laugh when “Intelligent German” replaces “Intelligence Chairman” in your final copy you turn in wherever it is going to be published or turned into.




So, it is very important to think about how time consuming creating a finished product will be rather than just the convenience of being able to not type. because the amount of corrective typing you might do might be less typing but more time consuming mentally and physically than just typing away at 50 to 70 words per minute like you did before. I love using this feature when it is less time consuming than just typing the whole thing myself. But, if it takes more time and concentration than just typing it maybe we have to consider how best to use this new fangled “Enhanced dictation?”
