Gates Says Goodbye to Keyboards
- dfranke 19y agoThe trouble with voice-to-text is that it's disruptive. If you have 20 people in a computer cluster all using voice-to-text, nobody is going to be able to concentrate. Nor do my roommates need to hear everything I'm writing. To a lesser extent, it's a problem even when you're alone. Sometimes I type on autopilot while thinking about something completely different. If I need to speak rather than type, I'll surely have to break my train of thought. Speaking also requires greater physical exertion, which is antithetical to hacking because it means that changing things requires more work.
