Article I wrote using PKD's Principles

Philip K Dick is recognised as being one of the greatest science fiction writers of the 20th century. However there is much more to his stories than 'mere fiction'. In novels such as VALIS and UBIK Dick describes a structure of both inner and outer space that is pure itladian. Indeed it seems that the man himself experienced virtually every psychological state described in Anthony Peake's books. Indeed in one of his most curious books "Counter Clock World" Dick creates a character called "Anarch Peak". Is this significant or simply a coincidence? This section of the forum is to discuss the writings of this great man and to place his work and life within the structure of CTF/ITLAD

Alright...let me try again. Hopefully, I've got the right reality this time. Wrote this for Examiner using Dick's principles for Gnostic Revelation. Hope Tessa likes it. I'm actually thinking of writing an article on death, using the Interview with Anthony. Anyone know of any software that transcribes vocal to word? I know Andrew Phillip Smith does it the old way...but, quoting King Crimson, I'm a 21st Century Schizoid Man! Here it is:

Glad you managed to sort it out Miguel.

Thanks for the link, Miguel. I have saved your article in my "online reading" folder, which I've already scheduled a couple of hours on Sunday to read through, so I look forward to reading your piece and will place any questions or comments I have then.

When I have to use the software I personally use "Dragon Naturally Speaking" (but as with any of these products, it takes some time to 'train' the software to accurately transcribe your voice. And if you have anything other than a 'Queen's English' accent, that can take even longer!) For audio to word transcribing I have used "Digital Transcriber" and "Express Scribe" but personally found them very unpredictable.

Although I do have a diamante belt buckle with ADP on it (sadly this is entirely true), you can call me Karl :D
