Dictation software is an incredibly powerful tool. It’s one of those pieces of technology that reminds me of how many advances we have at our fingertips to document and create. I was on a call recently, speaking Spanish over the phone, and forgot to turn off my dictation software. I had google docs open and as I walked away from the desk, the program transcribed my Spanish conversation into the word document as English. The result is the following poem. Nothing I said on the phone was actually mentioned in the poem, and it’s as if the computer tried to do its best to create a picture. I am baffled by the computer’s misguided and incredible reinterpretation of the sound of my voice. It’s a wonderful opportunity to let go and see things differently. I have decided I am going to try to create more of this type of work soon. It’s a complete reinvention and I love the unexpected turns it takes. Google Docs has a built in dictation software, so anyone can try! Have you tried collaborating with a dictation software? What were your results?

Hey Ahmad is J,
thus my DNA is still
yet they could as he
and nobody has started a loneliness on the lot
similar because in the assembly will
and Don says and owns a look at alums

but again is a business as a Mona
see it the same as if no one else made no mistakes
in the by the proxy

I see Mejia okay but I will take on this delay
will gamely begin as they
I know that was
yet a little cement
your problem okay million
