Ability to communicate using spoken language occurs naturally in children earlier than they learn how to use written language. Throughout persons’ lives, their ability to use spoken language is being continuously maintained and further developed. As a result, spoken language has greater capacities to form and organize thoughts than those of written language. This article discusses one such capacity, to grasp mentally the initial idea, which is essential for beginning any writing process. An integral tool for using spoken language is a voice-recording device, which has become widely available as an application for mobile telephones and other portable devices. The use of spoken language, referred in this article as free-talking, allows a wide range of idea-generating possibilities, only few of which are discussed in this article.

口语和对空白页的恐惧

使用口语进行交流的能力在儿童学习如何使用书面语言之前就很自然地发生了。在人的一生中，他们使用口语的能力都在不断地保持和进一步发展。因此，口语比书面语言具有更大的形成和组织思想的能力。本文讨论了一种这样的能力，即在精神上掌握最初的想法，这对于开始任何写作过程都是必不可少的。使用口语的一个不可或缺的工具是录音设备，它已广泛用作移动电话和其他便携式设备的应用程序。使用口语，在本文中称为自由交谈，允许广泛的产生想法的可能性，本文仅讨论其中的少数。
