I'm not sure if this should go under tech, but ill leave it her for now.
I'll admit, I'm a horrible typer. I have to 'three finger type' as it's called.

As much as i love stories, i never find the will to type then out completely, nor write as my printing is illegible.

I'm wondering if any of you know and speech-to-text programs. You know, those things that make your words into letters on the screen? Just wondering.
I hate being human, I hate being alone, but I scare off or pushy away anyone who cares or understands.

I would have to say, at least back then, Nuance (Dragon 13!) were the forerunners with accessible speech to text technology and still appear to be.

If you had wanted something writing pace, that can adapt to your voice and style of writing, then that appears to be specifically for you.

A brief search on Google reveals very few alternatives, other than Google's built in speech-to-text, but I cannot imagine using that for any sort of stories.

Reality Tiger Corner: find a learning regimen or software online and learn to touch type? It is a very useful skill, and just takes a bit of muscle memory learning rather than purely mental memory learning (and so it is easier for most.) - I am nearing the point of RPI and carpel tunnel so I understand though that speaking - is a suitable alternative, in the evolution of humans tigers :P
