RSI of the tongue - PSP-Forum.com

bagelf · 11-07-2006, 10:51 PM

I switched my computing to voice recognition because my wrists were getting tweaked and I’m paranoid of repetitive strain. I love the new system, definitely would recommend Dragon ( http://www.nuance.com/naturallyspeaking/ ). Question is, though, I notice my mouth and tongue get tired at the end of the day from all the talking. Can you get RSI of the tongue?

Erm, I'm no expert but I don't think so no. Plus you can only get RSI if you've been typing for hours on end in an uncomfortable position, just make sure your wrists are resting on the table when youre typing, not hovering over the keyboard.

Yeah, thanks for that, but there's a lot more to RSI than positioning. I know more than I ever wanted to know about it, now. Anyway... I talked to someone and they said that I probably just have a sore tongue and that I'll get used to it. I feel silly now. It is cool talking to my computer, though.

I am sorry to be insensitive but this is a joke thread right????

I mean a sore tongue from talking!!!

I have had a sore tongue from breathing through my ears (adult joke that one) but please....

No, I was really wondering! But I'm silly like that. Actually my tongue already feels better and I'm dictating this message right now.

does it recognize the words you're saying properly or are there times you have to change the words yourself?

There are times you have to change the words yourself, but it's not often. It gets most of the words accurate, unless you start using a whole lot of slang or something. It's a lot faster than typing, both because the typing speed is faster, and because it guesses more accurately than I type (the time spent going back in to change its bad guesses doesn't outweigh the time it would take to fix all my typos if I were typing it).
