Due to damaging my right hand two days ago I am no longer able to touch type.  As a consequence I had to find another way!

The solution presented itself in the form of Apple's Speech Dictation feature, activated by hitting the fn key twice.

It may be that you have to update your software as I had to.  This takes only a few moments.

I made a short film to explain it clearly here.

It really is a great way to speed up your comment response process and buy yourself more time for writing awesome posts!

Looking forward to making more of these films.

Any suggestions as to what subjects you would like me to cover?
