Voice dictating reports

Here was my quandary today: the sun was shining, my laptop was poorly, all I had was my iPad, and I had 60+ year 8 reports to write. 
The solution? Voice dictating them!
Seriously, this was a complete revelation. After a bit of googling I downloaded the Dragon Dictation app (free) and off I went. 
The only real issue I had was that it kept putting 1/10 instead of 'one tense', but that was no biggie really. 
It also took less time than typing, especially on the iPad which would have driven me mad after a while, and I still got to enjoy the sunshine on my day off. And as an added bonus, i didnt get quite as bored, in fact i managed to 'write' about 10 on the trot without resorting to a FB / twitter break... Genius!
