Typing is the bottleneck of thought. We think faster than we type. What if we removed the keyboard? I wrote this entire blog post using Voice-to-Text software. I walked around my room, talking to myself like a maniac.

> THE EXPERIENCE (RAW TRANSCRIPT)

"Okay Google comma start new paragraph. Writing this way feels very weird full stop. I feel like I am giving a speech to nobody dot dot dot. Wait no delete that backspace backspace cancel. Why is it typing 'cancel'? Stop listening!"

> SPEED VS ACCURACY

Speed: Incredible. I can speak 150 words per minute. I can type maybe 60. The content poured out of me.
Accuracy: Terrible. It mistook "A.I." for "Hey eye." It mistook "genre" for "John run." Editing the mess took longer than typing it would have.

> THE TONE SHIFT

When you write with a keyboard, you are "Writing." The tone is formal. Structured. When you dictate, you are "Talking." The tone is conversational. Messy. Authentic?
Reading back my dictated text, it sounded more like ME. It had my cadence. It had my rambling sentence structure. It felt less polished, but more human.

> THE PHYSICALITY

Writing is usually sedentary. You sit hunched over a keyboard. Dictating allowed me to pace. I walked 2000 steps while writing this post. My brain works better when I'm moving. Thinking on your feet is literal here.

> CONCLUSION

I won't switch completely. Editing voice text is a nightmare. But for the "First Draft"? This is a game changer. I can vomit out thoughts while doing the dishes or walking the dog. Then sit down and polish them later. The keyboard is for editing. The voice is for creating.
