Rec | TEXT-TO-SPEECH

🗣️💻

I hurt my thumb a couple weeks ago and ever since then I've been relying on text to speech for my texting on my phone and MacBook. It's proving to be extremely useful, especially as someone who struggles with reading and writing. Don't believe me this paragraph was written with text to speech, still don't believe me go to patreon.com/slushynoobz see the footage of me doing this talking to my laptop and typing instantaneously, I could never type instantaneously by myself, but now I can. -Hamzah

@jadynnewman

can we also get a little appreciation for swipe texting… turn slide-to-type on in your settings and watch your life change before your eyes…

Text to speech feature for proofreading

Having a voice read paragraphs of text aloud helps me catch so many more mistakes than I would otherwise. It also makes the process of proofreading extremely dry text (academic papers, legal documents) a little more engaging/bearable.

Using the dictation button on your iPhone

I can’t be bothered with typing anymore. This keyboard is very tiny and my fingers are very big.

turning off predictive text

i don't remember what prompted me to even mess with my keyboard settings in the first place, but i do remember the peace that instantly washed over me once i saw how still my keyboard was when i began typing again afterwards. i hadn't realized how much noise that row of rapidly changing suggested words and emojis was making in my brain until it was gone. also this has forced me to confront how awful my spelling is and how much i've gotten used to passively having my mistakes fixed. it was an inadvertent but necessary step for me in trying to be more conscious and intentional when using my phone.

Roast Beef Sandwiches

I’m not sure why, but this was a boujee protein source in my childhood, a reward for good grades even. Today I find people giving me dirty stares when I opt in for RB, I’m not sure where this rhetoric came from maybe cuz it’s not that pretty but it’s a shame because it’s soo yummy in my opinion -Hamzah

Not loving Concerts

Do not be afraid if you did not feel moved after going to a concert, even if it was someone whom you really enjoyed. Music is so hard to make how can they do it well live. Not only is it usually loud but it’s loud for like the whole time. Also everyone is fucked up lowkey. Some genres translate especially badly to live so yeah. Not to mention festivals… -Hamzah

Speedos

They make me feel confident and sexy. I have no idea why people are scared of them. You can wear them under your shorts, they’re super comfortable, and they dry way faster than regular swim trunks. Give them a chance. -Martin
