[Mind's Eye] Writing Ideas

My work with other people has usually been disappointing. It's
limited to a little university teaching and reading graduate
submissions in the main. Trying to write with other people is broadly
a disaster and I'm in need of getting my own into focus. I've been
ill with energy sapped and the exercise I need to take hasn't helped
much yet, though the new dog is a real treat when not eating my
socks. It's a bit of a new start. Quite a few people write,some very
well and This is an invitation to share and perhaps develop work
between group members.

I've tried speech-to-text software with dismal failure over the years,
once building a monster pc with shed-loads of memory to no effect.
More recently, trying the latest stuff on university approval, I found
the stuff as hopeless and that it varied with my partial denture in or
out. This led me to the germ of an idea,which if any good I should
patent before mentioning. I video conference from a small netbook
with its own webcam and colleagues use text translation when stuck for
understanding. This now works very well, but we obviously want voice
translation to prevent repetitive stress injuries from the keyboard.
I've seen some old films (silent) with a voice over lip-reading
software - the best known are from Hitler's archive. There's a
product development possibility in this.

I'd like to know whether this makes as instant sense to other ME
people as me. I haven't looked into this much as.it spurred me into a
sub-plot in my novel and that's what I'll be up to for a while. We
could 'write' this 'product development'. I'm partly suggesting this
for real but also as a metaphor (maybe) for more developmental writing
on our ideas generally. I won't say more at this stage.
