Anyone here use speech to text for writing?
Maybe not for anyone else, but if I tried dictating a book, a different part of my brain would be "writing" the book...not the same part of my brain used when I'm typing. My writing style and even the content would be different. Probably a lot different. Same as if I were to write longhand, it would come out very different from when I type. Crazy, I know.

Coding with voice dictation using Talon Voice β€’ Josh W. Comeau
Dictation software has been around for a long time, but it's usually used purely to transcribe speech, often in the legal and medical industries. Writing code is a different beast, since there's a lot of syntax and conventions and non-dictionary words. Fortunately, specialized software exists! I currently use Talon Voice(opens in new tab), a tool built specifically to help software developers work without using their hands.
