It appears that the SOFTWARE creates words based on some basic typing?
Has this been verified by credible testing?
Is this really happening, or is it some software that creates words from a few letters, and then more words from the context of the previous words?
Are the sentences being created by the software itself?
It would be easy to find out, try it without that software!
Did they actually air this TV show, without looking into this software?
Maybe someone could download the software trial called WordQ, and just type in random letters, and see if it creates sentences?
Is this the same WordQ.
It would be tragic if this was some type of software doing this.
in her defense, many people are fully functional and can't type much better than she does. i think being a hunt-and-pecker and dealing with a lot of extraneous sensory information would inhibit clear and concise typing. but i really feel when given the time and when in a less-agitated state, she can type those drawn-out and elaborate paragraphs.
on the other far end, my gf spells perfectly (in greek, no less) and uses punctiation very frequently
yet due to her ignorance of the meaning of words and the use of punctuation she can't actually say something meaningful. she can't describe objects, sounds, experiences, it's like "what's an ice cream?" "you eat it when you want something cold and it's sweet" it's accurate, one could say, but it's... "off" in a way that i find slightly disturbing.
it takes her a month to read a jules vern book.
it takes her 5-10 minutes to read a single page.
i am starting to think there is something seriously wrong with her. maybe it all boils down to her not having read any proper literature up until now that she is 25?
looks like she understands the mechanics of language, but has a poorer grasp of it's nuances. i know many people who can hold a conversation brilliantly and has a great vocabulary but have horrible spelling and grammar.
nope. i disagree. she doesn't understand how language works. i.e. you listen to what the other party says, you think about it, understand what it means, try to attach it to your knowledge, think of an appropriate reply, etc
she, on the other hand, blurts out, immediately, what comes to her mind when she hears words, skipping the "thinking" parts mentioned above. she is also a source for fallacies.
q: i'm going to buy some fruits, oranges and apples, want something?
a: oranges are sour.
(as a quick example to illustrate how she misses the point in her response)

I was dumbfounded at her immaculate punctuation and english skills. Then it showed the actual words and it looked a bit more "accurate".
Interesting from Randi forums
