To say that using the voice to text function has changed my life and to urge you to try it?

A friend recently persuaded me to try the dictation function on my phone. Complete game changer!

I was someone who regularly pissed people off by not replying to texts, messenger conversations, WhatsApp groups etc

I just hated the feeling of tapping away at my phone screen and it took fecking aaaages. With a young wriggly baby it was hard to find the time and when I did have my hands free there were always loads of more urgent things to do so texting always got put off and put off again.

Took a few times to get used to speaking the text, and you still have to go back and tidy up a little but it is SO blimmin quick and easy. Rather than getting frustrated and finding it all a big old chore, I now enjoy communicating with my friends and usually reply immediately now whenever I can. I'm a changed woman I swear!

Has anyone else had this revelation?

Maybe some people hate it but I wanted to share my joy and potentially help inspire some fellow text phobes.

I tried it once or twice, but it doesn't like my slang or accent!

I use it to type up my work notes! Just email them to myself when I'm done
