Speaking Freely
"Hi this is Kevin speaking freely to you via SpinVox. It's a verbal way for me to update this blog without access to a computer. Just a phone. Our 1st event is this week at the Fresh From Florida 200 at Daytona International Speedway. We look forward to that event and looking forward to keeping you updated as quickly as possible through this method. Cheers."

So, this is now me typing...
The use of SpinVox will allow me to keep you all updated with the freshest information - during a race event - via my cellphone.
Whenever you see the heading Speaking Freely, you'll know it's an update from my phone to the blog!
From SpinVox' website, here's how it's done:
SpinVox has a job to understand everyone. But it’s the one job it’s very good at. How does it do it? It captures spoken words and feeds them into a Voice Message Conversion System, known as ‘D2’ (the Brain), and spits them out as text content.
So D2’s pretty smart. He’s bound to be, as he’s a combination of artificial intelligence, voice recognition and natural linguistics. But he also learns from us humans. He learns all the time about how we speak, and what we say, from the mundane to the ridiculous.
And even the smartest machines need a helping hand if they are to stay clever: help to understand and digest new words or phrases to ensure that he is converting what you mean to say.
Over the past four years D2 has been chomping through our words, converting millions of messages from millions of different voices and accents, in English, French, Spanish and German. But now he’s onto his main course and he wants to feast on your words to make him bigger and stronger.
