Zen Arado: and is far cheaper
Xirana Oximoxi: I wonder why it may be cheaper
Zen Arado: I don't know
Xirana Oximoxi: :)
Zen Arado: maybe the French don'tlike voice typing?
Xirana Oximoxi: it can be useful anyway:)
Zen Arado: very useful for me
Xirana Oximoxi: sure if I try it in Englsih it will be difficult for the program to recognise my accent :)
Zen Arado: no more difficult than me speaking in French
Zen Arado: or English even :)
szavanna Resident: hehe
Zen Arado: it doesn't like my accent
Bleu Oleander: :)
szavanna Resident: I love Zenji's accent °͜°
