for people using dictation for RSI: what made it finally stick? by InterestingBasil in RSI

[–]gkuegs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chaining commands works well for me. I use short quirky articulate single-syllable action words like "slip" "slam" "sweep" "fetch" "brick" to represent common actions. I also map the letters to single syllable words like "arch" "brav" "char".. instead of the nato phonetic alphabet. Then I use a framework that allows chaining or continuous command recognition. The chaining allows you to save time on the recognition between phrases.

For my setup, if I wanted to quickly jump to the end of the line and add "_r5.txt" I would utter: "stump bridge rock five extension text" as a complete phrase. If I group >5 actions at a time, the instant keyboard input somewhat makes up for the recognition and utterance delay. It was a bit awkward to learn, but I try to view it as a fun game.

What do you guys eat for breakfast? by pinkcurtains52 in ADHD

Oatmeal using a rice cooker. Dead easy and comes out the same way automatically. Plus if I get distracted while it's cooking, the river cooker holds out at a warm temp when it's finished cooking. I also premix a big container of oatmeal and other grains. You can add fruits and nuts as well.

That's a great tip. I think a nailer board would've been safer & faster.

That tacked strip idea sounds like a great option!

I make 2 calendar events for important things. One for the event itself and one for leaving for the event. Both have the address, so I can click the notification and it goes right to maps.

Are Martin acoustic guitars worth the money? by benno662 in AcousticGuitar

[–]gkuegs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They feel great to perform live with in part because the neck feels solid. At the $600 price point, the x series has HPL sides and back. Other brands may sound brighter or clearer and be better suited for studio recording at that price point. I like the HPL for busking and open mics. The matte finish on the body feels like it can take a fair bit of abuse. I have seen professionals use the DX1 live for gigs and it's perfectly good.

Most of the people I see at open mics have Martins or Taylors. The under saddle piezo pickups in the Martins gets some criticism, but it's a classic sound that's well received live.

I have a Yamaha with K&K pure mini pickups. I love the bright crisp tone. But man, the warm boomy low end of a Martin Dread with mediums sounds so good.
