Terry,

>>But voice is slow

When you start, yes. When I started, I would dawdle at the dictaphone for many minutes, rewinding, repeating, perfecting. But once you get the hang of it, and learn to speak "written word" rather than colloquial, dictation is extremely quick.

Obviously I'm talking about communication documents, not filling in an entry form. Speech is poorly suited for entry forms. But then entry forms aren't exactly nirvana for a busy mobile human user, either. Bearing in mind that it used to be common to phone the corner shop to place today's grocery order, a task converted into a search facility with online checkout using a computer, I don't think that "the entry form" is the only way, or even the best way.

Regards

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
