Good day, fellow Etrayans.

Concerning Antigone's warning regarding our real names, it occurs to me that we would benefit from collaborating on this front.

To that end, I wish to open discussion.

For those who have chosen a name, please respond with what you have selected, that we may know what to call you.

For those who have not, you may use this posting to discuss your ideas or invite suggestions from others.

As for myself, I shall be using "Lucien", the name of a character from a novel in my world.

Do you see something on your holographic display that resembles a bean placed in a chalice?

That is what you would tap.

[ H...ow do you describe a microphone when you've not seen one and the other guy probably hasn't either... ]

text -> audio...eventually

[bloodandlife]

[On his what-now? Forgive him, he's only just recently even learned what a 'bean' is...

He eventually figures it out, though.]

Er, hello, Dion? Can you hear me?

[oblige]

[ Here Dion was debating whether he should try to describe that audio button some other way, but it seems there is no need after all.

Zagreus has found it. ]

Yes, I can hear you now.

[bloodandlife]

Oh, good. Writing never was my strong suit, and that's just doing it normally with a pen. Eking out a word one letter at a time on this thing is a bit of a nightmare.

[oblige]

You're not the first to find it cumbersome. Admittedly, I'd prefer a quill or pen, and I enjoy writing.

[ Something about poking a projection just isn't the same. No scritch of nib against paper, no individual character inherent in handwriting... Immediacy at the cost of personality. ]

Fortunately, we've options.

[bloodandlife]

I don't suppose 'speaking aloud and having it magically delivered as a written message' is one of those options, is it?

[He asks in a tone that suggests he's assuming such a convenient thing isn't possible, because why would anything in his life ever be convenient?]

You are describing speech-to-text, and yes, that is something you can make use of. At times it may not interpret words accurately, but you can amend its errors. I can show you how to find it when next we see one another.

[ Menus are easier to tackle when he can see the screen, he knows this from experience. ]

[bloodandlife]

Ah, that would be wonderful, thank you. I'll be sure to take you up on that.

'Tis a plan then. It becomes easier to work with once one knows where to find certain commands.
