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?
Much love,

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
as a reality on this
but I get we made the illness
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
must a Mona bougainvillea started
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
Ahmad will think of the Libyan all
yeah you that the opulent data
estate note that you have a new quarterly
simpler okay
is the interest of the aesthete
they gave God for five or many
cryptic on the photos

Grandma’s,
and lungs is not as they develop
multimedia in newness
okay
Adios
