It does take him awhile, yes. He finds the button relatively quickly, but then he spends some time experimenting and being slightly awed by technology for once. It's a useful tool! He's amazed at how well it senses when he starts and stops, and while it takes him a bit to remember what periods are used for in Common grammar, he's actually feeling very slightly excited about this. Talking is easier then trying to find his way around the keyboard, that's for damn sure.

This is about the moment he actually goes back to read what he's recorded and realizes that it is nonsense. Talk-to-text is iffy even on a good day but it doesn't recognize wild elf language and records it as Common word salad, and only gets about one in ten words of his heavily accented Common. This is immediately frustrating, and more so then usual because he doesn't understand why it's happening.

He gives up on the conversation at this point, putting the phone away and continuing on his train quest for awhile. It's only when he can't let the thought go that he pulls it back out and finally responds. At least he's remembered periods this time around.

Its not litsning to me. It writs nnosnense. Howsit supopsed to work
