It is important to point out that I'm a slow/lousy typist, and as such, when possible, I use a program called Dragonspeak in an attempt to make things easier. It is a program where I speak into a microphone, and the program types what I said (with at least some degree of accuracy).
I point that out because it might be the cause of a strange situation I encountered a few moments ago as I attempted to reply to a post.
In "dictating" the reply, all went as usual until I said the word "repayment"-at which time I was sent to a web site that advertised it would "help me pay my debts". I was startled at first, then work my way back to the "reply to topic" screen, thinking that I had inadvertently hit a key, or clicked the mouse, or something. It occurred again, then again when I was sure I was touching nothing related to the computer.
{Of course it didn't happen when I said the same word in this paragraph}
Later on, while writing the same reply, I said the words "diving gear", and was directed to a site that advertised diving gear. It recurred when I said "dive gear".
{Of course it didn't happen when I said the same words in this paragraph }
Has anyone encountered this problem before?
Is it me, "Dragonspeak", or something specific to the SB site.( I have not used "Dragonspeak" on any other web site, to know if this would occur there.
Thanks,
Mike
