I’m writing this blog post by talking into my phone. That’s because android phones recently updated with new firmware. The keyboard on the new firmware includes a speech to text option, and it is awesome.
There are so many ways that this speech to text function would make an academics life easier.
For example i already have students submit papers using google documents. Once android phones have the option of editing and adding comments to google documents, I’ll be able to write comments on students papers by reading the paper on my phone and adding comments by talking.
That’s just one example, but I hope it’s clear that speech to text will dramatically change the ways in which smartphones can increase academic productivity.
