[Nfbmo] cell phones

[Natasha Baebler]

I do almost everything on my iPhone five via Siri/voice dictation. It's way more accurate than my touch typing and it's a lot faster is well. It's also much more accurate than anything else I've ever tried to use for dictation software.

Learning the lingo takes a little bit of practice, but it's easy enough to do.
