Getting To Know You

I find Siri quite useful. It's not without it's faults, and there's still a degree to which I have to bend my way of thinking around it's way of working, but the friction has been minimal.

What I've found much more difficult to get used to is dictation. Not that it doesn't work well — I'd say it works surprisingly well, in fact — it's just that I'm just so accustomed to be able to use the time spent typing to, I suppose, put my thoughts into a more useful form, and I don't always seem to have that while speaking. At least, not while speaking to a device that's going to transcribe what I'm saying.
