Yeah, I can totally see this happening. We got a tablet in the house recently, and I've used it for taking notes for gardening. I quit using it because it screwed words too much. I realize it has an adaptive learning system, but it was just quicker to type the notes down. Now that time really isn't of the essence, maybe I will sit down with the thing and train it properly.
"Pepper six of eight" would become "paper sick of hate"
"Marigold is null" would become "Marry gold in skull"
And it really had some not right results for specific plant names.
I wonder what kind of odd stuff would pop up if you just left a tablet on transcribe mode all night? Yeah, I can totally see people telling stories about their ipod/tablet said whatever, or ghost hunters starting to use them.
Yes, I am a cynical and jaded jacknape. I try to see all three sides of the coin- do you?
