I had purchased a Logitech keyboard cover for my iPad mini and wonder if was a wise in investment. The idea of having a physical keyboard was to make it faster to type. In fact, it is a slower method of communicating thoughts into the iPad.

In fact, I believe the fastest way of getting information into the iPad is to use narration.

Strangely enough, I believe the fastest way is to use narration and use the soft keyboard in combination with the touch screen. I can get the bulk of my thoughts into the iPad through speech, and use the keypad/touchscreen to edit.

I'm using the much improved iOS 7 speech to text functionality within Drafts to prepare this blog post. So far, the dictation is only missed a couple of words and I was easily able to fix it using the touch screen.

Of course, the downside with narration is that the location has to be quiet enough for you to dictate.

Since I'm one of the few lucky ones to have an office at work, I am considering preparing more emails using dictation. Email is one of my primary modes of communication at the office, and I spend a great deal of time and effort to develop my emails.

I need to find a way to improve the workflow of dictation, as I really enjoy using the iPad mini for that task; however, we are a Microsoft office shop...
