You have 30 seconds to justify not having a typewriter (you can't).
>>23812522Pencil has 196 results, btw.I respect pencil users, but some of us can't afford servants.
>>23812522What program are you using for the OED? I have been using sdcv but its search is fairly limited and not the greatest formatting.
>>23812537It requires Win 3.1. I find it very soulful.https://archive.org/details/oxford-english-dictionary-second-editionThere's also this one, it works on newer os's, well, I have it running on a win 2k vm, can't vouch for its non-virus-ness:https://archive.org/details/oed-v4The first comment is correct, you will likely have to snag the needed file. But it's out there at least.
The v4 one seems to have moar. I think the blurb said there are expansion packs and whatnot.
>>23812522I use pen and paper
>>23812602Unfortunately, ai and ocr aren't very good at reading handwriting. You'll still have to type it.With a typewriter you get all of the advantages of pen and paper, with added benefits. All win, no lose.
>>23812615You scan and OCR what you type on your typewriter? lol.
>>23812657How would you do it, type it on a COMPUTER, the same way ai does?
If you own a typewriter, and you're not a boomer using one for reasons of familiarity or nostalgia, you are absolutely retarded, and likely a huge pretentious attention -seeking faggot
>>23812726I see no reason to accept your assertion.
>>23812522I'm old enough that I'd spent some years in school using a typewriter for assignments before getting my first Macintosh. Typewriters would compel you to think very carefully about what you're typing so that you didn't have to use their crappy erase tech.
>>23812746You don't have that problem anymore. You can edit in your word processor, after you ocr it.It's so simple. I think people just remember the old janky days when ocr sucked, scanning was slow, and almost nobody had an mdf
>>23812722I do 90% of the work longhand and typing things out is the first step of my editing process, I catch a good number of errors and issues as I type. The act of typing is also mostly passive and really helps to highlight how things flow and the rhythms of the language and this is where I really start to understand these aspects of the piece. Typing it all into the computer is probably the closest a writer can get to reading their own work as the reader will, I find it to be a very valuable process.
>>23812758s/mdf/adf
>>23812759Just use tts to catch those errors.
If you want no distractions, I'd get a used Thinkpad or something, install Linux and use it without internet.Mechanical typewrites really are a pain to use compared to modern plastic keyboards.
>>23812776TTS mangles rhythm and flow, and obscures sentence structure/punctuation in all but simple sentences. I can't decide if you are trolling, going through a writing phase that is more about affecting an image than writing, or one of idiots obsessed with life hacks.
>>23812825>TTS mangles rhythm and flowless than typing it out>>23812825>obscures sentence structure/punctuationit doesn't. You think it does because it annoys you.
>>23812783Well no, that's retarded.>use something that has a "distract me" buttonUse a typewriter. Typewriters are not technology. Resist the modern retarded whore.
>>23812998TTS lacks the intonation and inflection required to convey grammatical constructs and is incapable of picking up on the cues which signify the tempo and rhythm as well as mood and tone let alone the very complicated ways they interact. Beyond that written language is capable of things which can not be conveyed in speech, we can't hear quote marks. TTS is oblivious to the nuances of language both written and spoken. It is much better than it used to be but still relies on simplistic ideas of intonation and inflection which are almost completely disconnected from the text it is reading. You have a poor understanding of language. >>23813000You are advocating the use of more technology; scanner, OCR, AI, TTS and who knows what else.
>>23812522I have a good keyboard and a desktop pc
>>23813094>AIno.>>23813094>TTSBy all means have a friend read it to you, but my experience in this area is that people have replaced friendship with tv / youtubers they stare at. tts should be used anyway, because it produces a professional "military" output that rarely skips a beat (watch out if tts that "listens" to escape codes, with Microsoft Mary (VERY good for proofing) and all the related voices, forget the version, you want to eliminate foreslashes iirc). Everyone should use this, unless they can afford an employee who is autistic and will read all the sounds exactly.fwiw, ai tts is rapidly improving, but I wouldn't use that, not primarily. tts that is basically robotic provides an audio interface for correction.>>23813094>use of more technologyI really don't want to explain my philosophy, but it's readily apparent that the typewriter isn't technology.>>23813094>TTS is obliviousWhich is good, and meanwhile you are not. I have extensive use of TTS, you may think you can't overcome the annoyance, which is what it is, you can, and should.>>23813094>You have a poor understanding of language.:)>>23813114Tragic, if only you were poor, you'd be a better writer. or just buy a typewriter.
Why would I use a typewriter when I have a computer and can turn all the notifications off
>>23813145>Tragic...Nah I'm fine the way I am and how much I'm progressing. I don't see how something that serves less function and aesthetics than things I already own can help me
>>23813306>I'mNot an interest I share.>>23813275I'm not sure to what extent I want to explain your condition. For one thing, to whatever degree someone is sick, they are sick in other ways, a partial benefit may be a harm to humanity - just look at that sicko from yesterday.
I have a typewriter at my other house but my keyboard is cuter so I just use that.
>>23812522Because they make an annoyong sound and noise pollution is annoying to other people
>>23813850>noise pollutionHow autistic are you?
>>23814547Try living near a kennel and tell me ''noise pollution'' is not a thing
>>23814652So a typewriter's noise is similar to a ton of dogs howling and barking? Do you honestly believe that? Why not suggest I try living next to an airport or something else?
>>23813850This is beneficial - it claims space.
I think it would be fun to have a discord server where everyone was writing on their typewriters at once. clack clack clack clackity clackA choir of typewriters
>>23812522What typeface is that? It's beautiful 90's aesthetic, it looks like hacker.>Zoomer 2002
>>23818151PlantinThere's no antialiasing or font smoothing in Windows 3.11 afaik
>>23818295and Porsen for Greek.
>>23818295and Hadassah for Hebrew
>>23818151PI6OUP.TTF seems to be a webdings font for OUP.
>>23812602No, you don't.
>>23812770how was working on paper terminals, you boomer fuck? You know sed but you're hyping typewriters? You're a fuckin' Real Article, man.
>>23819592style is for retards
>>23818127So larping as 1960s secretaries? Are we going to gossip about how hot our boss is too?
>>23819978You know who else used a typewriter?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2c8UZA5L2yQ
>>23821582btw that's an Underwood No 3, 11". They had different sizes of the No 3.The most common is the Underwood No 5.
Disappointed I don't own an Underwood No 3, 11", in QWERTZ.
