Hi guys, Some time ago, I downloaded the ap dictation, but still haven't managed to figure out how it works. There is a click and dictate button all right, but after I've dictated what I want, what do I do to make it appear on twitter or facebook or wherever I might want it. Sorry for sounding

I read this quote with interest, it is subtely different to when I read it earlier after the discussion on ambiguity of interpretation; perhaps it's been edited since then? But yes, this is making better sense now. Thank you. RobH. - Original Message - From: BrailleTouch

I tried it, twists the wrists a bit peculiar, not good position to type in. But urgonomics aside, it would work flat if that's what they want. you might have to lock orientation since the app needs to know which way is UP! - Original Message - From: Chris H christopher...@gmail.com
