Otter Nonsense - Using Speech to Text Software

`I imagine some kind of website with pictures for instance of threes. And behind those images. Their stories, possibly even animations, or little videos short, a multimedia project. Imagine there being a victory fick three. And when you click on it, you will be able to read, or perhaps even listen to the hypersensitive Allosaurus from fig three to victory story.` 

`And of message. and off message. And off message.`

As you might have sensed, the above isn't my writing. In fact it was written by an animal ( an otter ) and I dictated the words.

Although it was a pretty bright animal, it's still struggling somewhat to understand the human tongue ( or my English accent ) and it also seems to have difficulty with where to end and start a sentence. 

*Can you notice the mistakes?*

I had to laugh about 'hypersensitive Allosaurus'.

For the dino noobs among you, Allosauruses actually existed. What I said though ( to otter ) was Hypersensitivosaurus not hypersensitive allosaurus. 

Also the word fig tree, no matter how I pronounced it seemed tough to spell, as goes for "End of Message". I gave up after three - or was it tree?  - attempts.

###### Anyhow, in case you can't make sense of the above, I was thinking out loud about my Hypersensitivosaurus project. It keeps metamorphosing into a different shape: 

computer game, novel, children's book, graphic novel, website, possibly even animation. 

Today I decided to test out [Otter](https://otter.ai/), an A.I. text to speech app. I installed it yesterday and mentioned and referred to it in [this post](https://peakd.com/hive-120078/@vincentnijman/modern-times-also-known-as-why-some-raptors-need-to-file-their-nails) 

It took me quite some time to actually get the text file on my laptop ( iPhone's aren't great at everything ) but I finally managed to do so.

I thought of sharing the audio with you too, for extra entertainment, but then I'd need to use 3Speak or DSound and I didn't feel like that so text only will need to cut it.

To make up for this, I added a cute little drawing, as pictures above. It is based on a random otter photo that I found on Google.

Btw, I re-discovered the calligraphy pen that I'd lost. Unfortunately it had dropped on the floor without its cap screwed on and it almost dried out. So I used a blue ballpoint marker for some extra filling.

Time to end this before I stop making sense and just otter nonsense.

For the calligraphy pen, if it's unusable, you can try leaving it in a bit of alcohol for some time.

Thanks for the advice. Never heard of that. I'm afraid I threw away way too many. Apparently my mom didn't know that trick either.

Bahahahhaaa XD this is why I don't talk to things (just at them).

iPhones are great at what they are good at and almost utterly incapable at what they're not (I say having gone back to an iPhone because I wanted to throw both my Android phones through a wall, one accidentally met an equivalent fate when it jumped out of my pocket when I bolted across the train tracks after the warning alarm sounded when I was partway over).

Otter is so cute XD Make some pen soup, that might help loosen things up (soak the nib in hot water, don't necessarily have to boil it XD).  You might be able to salvage the ink cartridge in a similar fashion but it may also be a write-off x_x

Hahaha! Your stories always make me laugh, although they are easy to relate to. I have had plenty of times when I felt like throwing my phone against a wall or - more often - in the water ( I don't like to poison nature though )

Otters can be kind of cute, I guess. It might also be my cuteness shining through ;<)

P.S.

>  a write-off

hahaha
