Stream of Consciousness Blogging

I think I have found a new game :). Here is what you do, buy MacSpeech Dictate for your MAC, install and train it – and it has to be said it works astonishingly well when the headset is on, and the microphone positioned correctly.

Then forget to turn it off whilst having Word open, take the headset off and put it on your desk, then have a normal conversation with someone. MacSpeech Dictate will then partly pick up what you are saying, partly miss it, and partly get it completely wrong.

What you get is a stream of consciousness page of text in Word, containing best interpretations by the application. Take a look at this:

"My wife is attacking my left foot with instruments of torture roll with just two very very gently and that when you brush down over it then you moved it back on putting pressure on the not right when you rub it at the same point in every streak of rubbing press harder and it hurts now there rightly described over something very likely there that would see that it was touching it all will obviously I am because it hurt although she won't die before the end of the day there they were set up a full code to do than to an income and white white downwards slightly now know again but that's my molten metal there is actually there are now dancing I say yeah.


The home built likewise down slightly on the now again this hotel is it really comes I might publish this to the well I didn't say anything and we saw the stream of consciousness blogging into shiny."

There will be a prize of some sort for the best (clean) interpretation of that by comment. Weird or what?

One thought on “Stream of Consciousness Blogging

  1. Hi Phil,
    I think it’s a bit like that web site set up by a woman noting down her husband’s sleep talk. Clearly this stream of consciousness has come from a parallel reality only normally accessed in dream sleep.
