Thinking how my early morning dog walk might fit in with using the iPhone and using MacDictate. Basically the iPhone has made it a lot easier for me to record my thoughts because I tend to carry the iPhone as a music player on my walks - so I always have the phone there anyway so I don't need to be thinking about it in particular. The difficulty with the sound is that it isn't really clear enough and it takes a lot of listening to and ideally I would just take this home and translate it directly into text but the technology isn't good enough to do that yet. I played around earlier in the year with the iPod and iListen to translate what I put onto the iPod but that didn't really work - the quality just isn't good enough yet so I guess the other way round to do it - and it would review my thoughts a second time - would be to listen to the recording from the iPhone on Skype - I am doing this with an answer-phone - letting the message go straight onto the answer-phone, and listen to it a bit at a time and re-dictate it into MacDictate so that I have it there as a text form, because once it is in a text form, I can do searches on it, makes it much more useful and when I end this call magically the music just comes up again.
