Key Points
  • Valter Malm used speech-to-text technology to overcome dyslexia while writing a book about Eslöv
  • The book '55 balla ställen i Eslöv' was published with permission from author Valle Westesson
  • Malm aims to show that Eslöv is not a boring city and features specific locations like Medborgarhuset

According to SVT Skåne, Valter Malm described how his dyslexia made writing a book much more difficult, but he relied heavily on speech-to-text technology to complete it. He also noted that he did not use AI for this project. The book draws inspiration from his favorite book, '100 balla ställen i Skåne', and Malm obtained permission from its author, Valle Westesson, to publish his own version focused on Eslöv.

According to SVT Skåne, Malm described his goal as showing that Eslöv is not a boring city and that there is a lot of fun there. Specific locations featured in the book include Medborgarhuset, the train bridge in Skarhult, and the abandoned dance hall Lyransdal. The exact challenges Malm faced due to dyslexia beyond writing difficulty, as well as how he secured permission from Westesson, remain unclear.

I have dyslexia and then it is much more difficult to write a book but I have used a lot of speech-to-text. I have actually not used AI for this book.

I have tried to show that Eslöv is not a boring city and that we have a lot of fun here.
