Speech Recognition and Snow

I’m experimenting with speech recognition on my new laptop. I’m frankly a better speaker than a writer so I do better when I write by talking it out first to myself. Psychotic? You decide.  🙂

While training the computer I came up with this snippet that I rather liked:

It’s snowing here in the mountains.  I took my dog for short walk earlier.  I wasn’t going to, but he gets kind of impossible without it and heaven knows I need it too.  I thought the snow was over, and was delighted to feel a few flakes. Then I thought it was really over, and was surprised to look back out through my window to see it coming down nicely. I love watching the snow coming down outside superimposed against a leaden sky. Even though the storm clouds block out the mountains that I can otherwise see from my window through the tall pine trees.  I know that the mountains are there.  It’s enough.
