I am extremely impressed by the quality of the new dictation in macOS and iOS. This is the best dictation that I have used, with the exception of Dragon Dictate, which allowed you to make corrections and add custom vocabulary. If Apple ever adds a system where it learned from corrections, it will truly be amazing.
Since I bought an Xbox in January, my first ever console, I’ve found several games that I can’t get through because I don’t have the reflexes of a teenager. You’d think game designers would think about accessibility, allowing users to skip segments after failing a few times. I almost gave up on a game I’m playing now because it took 30 tries to kill all the bad things (and most of the game isn’t about killing, but discovering things). Maybe offer an option to slow down gameplay for old people?
@03a95182 That’s a big problem with almost every series that involves teenagers. That’s why they often use older people who are pretending to be teenagers. Look at the kids in Friday Night Lights; none of them were high school age when the series started, they were all in their early 20s. So they don’t visibly age much over the years.
