This is my first attempt at using voice activation in order to record of blog number two comments I have commented on to other fellow bloggers sites they were both very good sites and I enjoyed reading their blogs number three publications I went to the publications tab and I selected is my first publications skipping stones this was a children's publication the article that I chose from this publication was on Nelson Mandela there was an abstract and even though it was short it covered the high points of his life from his imprisonment to his release to his becoming the first black president of South Africa winning the Nobel Prize and uniting the black and white people and ending apartheid I thought it was a very good article because I work with students from Africa many who are going through revolutions in their own country the second publication I selected was called skeptic I chose this publication to see if there is any more information on global warming the art article that I chose was how we know global warming is real when I email this article to my email it only sent the abstract portion it talked about how humans are definitely contributed to the greenhouse effect by burning fossil fuel it said that adding up the human sources of carbon dioxide primarily from fossil fuel burning cement production and land-use one finds that only about half the carbon dioxide emitted as a result of human activities has led to an increase in atmospheric concentrations certainties and uncertainties while there are uncertainties in climate projections it is important to realize that the climate projections are based on sound scientific principles such as the laws of thermodynamics and radiata transfer with measurements of optical properties of gases I found that using this site was so much more helpful then back in the old days when we had to use a readers guide and then send off for an abstract or photocopy of an article. This site will be helpful to students because they will have many more resources available to them and more time to do research.
Well... I guess my voice activation way of doing a blog needs some work, but I had to give it a try. Comment and tell me what you think.
Until I read your blog, I had no idea that voice activation was even available on a blog. I'm probably not going to use it until I have a more urgent need for it, but thanks for the introduction nevertheless!
ReplyDeleteNeat, Mike! I may try this at home, as I've let my blog lapse for too long. Not able to try at the library, but it's nice to know when a feature is available. I look forward to reading your next "adventure". :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mike, for trying out a feature I didn't know was even possible! Aside from the lack of punctuation, the voice activation works pretty well. Glad to see that you made some interesting discoveries in ProQuest, too. We agree that having full-text journals available at your fingertips is so much better than the old days!
ReplyDeleteI like that you tried the voice recognition. What software did you use? I have tried different voice recognition programs, but I always have a hard time with punctuation, sentencing, paragraphs, etc. This is an interesting way to do a blog. Maybe I would post more if I could do it with voice recognition. That way it would be more of just recording every day and posting.
