AOL’s Point and Speak…

General

A few years ago, I bought that AOL Point and Speak software… Why? Because, it’s every lazy person’s dream! You don’t have to type! You just chat into a stupid microphone and the software types it out for you!

It was SO awesome too! Well, KIND OF awesome anyway. It did SUCK having to go back through EVERYTHING you chatted out into text form and correcting all of the damn fuck-ups it’s done. Well, here’s a few examples I’ve found on some site

I said into the mic: I can’t help falling in love with you
Point & Speak typed: I can’t help fully unload with you

I said into the mic: Amazing grace! how sweet the sound
Point & Speak typed: Amazing grace House sweep the sound

I said into the mic: Britney Spears
Point & Speak typed: Brady Spears (What? Did she have a sex change?)

I said into the mic: Then we will be debt-free!
Point & Speak typed: Then we will be dead free.

I said into the mic: …we’ve talked about taking a trip… possibly Jamaica, Florida or Hawaii.
Point & Speak typed: …we’ve talked about taking a trip… possibly Jamaica, Florida or why he.

I don’t know how all of those were fucked up, especially if the guy that was talking into the microphone wasn’t drunk!? Or, maybe he was, I’m not sure! Or, perhaps a drunk fuck created the software itself? Nah, because then everything would be typed into a slur…

I said into the mic: Congress has impeached President Bill Clinton for perjury and obstruction of justice in the matter of his affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky.
Point & Speak typed: Congress has in peach President Bill Clinton for perjury and obstruction of justice in the matter of his affair with White House intern Monaco whiskey.

I said into the mic: As for our family, we had an eventful year but a lovely Christmas.
Point & Speak typed: As for our family, we had uneventful year bought a lovely Christmas.

I said into the mic: …she is no longer “zoned out”…
Point & Speak typed: …she is no longer sold out…

I said into the mic: As for his behavior, it’s typical for a nine-year-old except for some mouthiness now and then.
Point & Speak typed: As for his behavior, it’s typical for a nine-year-old except for some Month-Ended-Down then.

I said into the mic: …he has moved in with Kathy and commutes to work each day.
Point & Speak typed: …he has moved in with Kathy and commits to work each day.

I said into the mic: Jim and Kathy
Point & Speak typed: GM and Kathy

I said into the mic: Dan & Joyce are okay.
Point & Speak typed: Dan and choice are okay.

I said into the mic: Patrick Ringer is selling Marie’s house. Patti may buy it.
Point & Speak typed: Patrick greater is selling Marie’s house. Patti may buy at.

I said into the mic: We paid for most of Joe’s orthodontia.
Point & Speak typed: We paid for most of Joe’s Orthodox a.

I said into the mic: We now pay Joe $3 per week in allowance
Point & Speak typed: We now paid Joel $3 per week in allowance

I said into the mic: Then we will be debt-free!
Point & Speak typed: Then we will be dead free.

I said into the mic: …empty tote boxes waiting to be filled with organized stuff
Point & Speak typed: …empty tote boxes waiting to be filled with organized of

I said into the mic: Go For It!
Point & Speak typed: Goal for it!

Shit sells!

General Rants

And then quality don’t sell for a shit! As I was trying to prove a point in the DigishitalPoint forums.. I mean, DigitalPoint.com Template Sales forums…

Bargain shoppers and cheap skates hurt the design / template creating market in general. Everyone expects designs / themes so cheap, it’s fucking bullshit! Then the quality unique stuff doesn’t want bought at reasonable (high) prices, it basically “forces” that seller / designer / coder to sell it at rock bottom prices, which is a disgrace.

Shit = Sells!
Quality = Don’t sell for a shit because everyone wants things FREE / cheap! It’s sickening.

I whipped up a couple QUICK designs at 5am something the other day, and tried selling them off once. Hell, I at LEAST thought this one would go faster!

It’s a one of a kind design! Totally unique and different from anyone else’s. Shit, how many other people out there have the exact same shit on their desktops that I do… None I’m sure..

The sale threads weren’t to be serious of course, just to see what people would do or not do about them… It’s amazing though…and at the same time, it’s total bullshit… Designs like the ones I whipped up normally go like hot cakes, however mine weren’t!?!?!?!?! WTF!?!?!?! LOL!

Ah well, at least there were a few people agreeing with me though. And to think, I wrote up a rant thread on their forums 305 days ago, about the exact same shit! I guess we all just gotta face the facts… DigitalPoint forums is the place to go to buy and sell the SHIT!
