So I’m very excited to say that I got a brand-new headset today. I bought the $99 VXI TalkPro Xpress from MacSpeech, the company that makes my voice recognition software.
When you do the training, it will play back to you a portion of what you said. When I used the terrible microphone that came with the program, it sounded all muddy and distorted. When it played back what I said this time, it sounded crystal clear.
I’ve been doing a lot of chatting lately and it’s been killing my wrists. I know it’s bad to randomly charge things on your credit card, but I absolutely had to have this. You can’t buy new wrists, unfortunately. Well, maybe I could if I was wealthy. But I very much doubt it. Also, my old expensive headset did fall apart, so this isn’t exactly a luxury purchase.
Other than that, not much going on. I’m scanning some documents for my mom. Well, they are not exactly for her they are for my uncle’s endless procession of paperwork. He is so OCD he has literally stacks of mail everywhere. It’s not often that there’s someone that can make me feel organized.
My mom and I watched Storytelling last night—I love that movie. Anyway, I have to finish scanning these and then dive into work, but I thought I would share my glee at being able to express myself again.
