I post almost exclusively with voice to text on my smartphone or tablet. It really is convenient, but it is a pain to remember to dictate the punctuation. Otherwise your post may look like it was written by a third grader.
My downfall is not going back and rereading the post carefully before I hit the send button. I can't tell you how many times I've gone back and looked and I am horrified at what I posted.
I regularly do Facebook chat in the same manner with my sister from Arkansas. Since it is my sister, I don't bother to reread it -I just talk and hit post. Half the time it doesn't even make sense . I feel like I'm speaking very clearly, but obviously my tablet thinks otherwise. When I used to apologize to my sister about the gobbledygook, she said "oh don't worry I figured out the code a long time ago. I just tried to think of something that rhymes with whatever the word is or sounds similar and I can usually sort it out".
So, OP, you're not alone! ( Also, for some reason my tablet puts a space between the last word and the period when I'm doing voice to text .) Very frustrating! See ?
