You can tell I’m bored

Here we are writing another entry. 
Having had to get another computer, re entering all the programs and the like has been somewhat of a large task (on going too...).
The new computer has, however a running Program for a Tablet PC.
And, as I already have a pen tablet from the old setup, the idea of trying hand writing recognition seemed like a good idea.
Did it work?
Well yes and no!!
The translation of writing to text is fine (but not prefect), but it doesn't half make your wrist hurt. Maybe its because we (I) don't write that much anymore.
Speech Recognition, on the other hand, has been a complete night mere!!
It would seem it doesn't really like my voice that much. Along with the fact that any extraneous noise seems to be picked up by the microphone and dealt with as an inserted word, commend or just plain "what was that?".
Is it any easier than typing - in the real world NO, not just yet least ways.
