The authors state that a medium can be "aggressive in its remediation," trying to "refashion the older medium or media entirely, while still marking the presence of the older media and therefore maintaining a sense of multiplicity or hypermediacy" (46). In composing through C-MOC, writers must deal with the mediation of the "older medium" (the voice) through the accoutrements of the VRT program (headset, verbal commands, accuracy issues, the coding embedded in the program itself, and the visual medium of the computer monitor). All of these things that set C-MOC apart from traditional dictation are ones that writers must be keenly aware of to compose with any success. As the authors explain, "Whenever we engage ourselves with visual or verbal media, we become aware not only of the objects of representation but also of the media themselves" (236).
