Why do We need this Tool ?
Speak your Mind!
It would save me much time, effort and stress
Projects where I can save time by dictating into a digital voice recorder instead of using my slow fingers for typing on a keyboard for data or text entry into a computer
One of the most important and valuable time-saving components
of my life
It has freed me up to the specialized and
challenging intellectual work when I am the most alert, inspired and when both left and right parts of my brain are the most-active and integrated.
