For this to work you'd have to have the whole essay mapped out in your mind at the outset.
For me, writing with a word processor is not just about setting down my words, but even before that, setting down the structure of the essay, then going back into it non-sequentially to flesh it out.
I can't imagine how that would be workable, even if the speech recognition were perfect. Things like "go back to the first paragraph of the section, now after the first sentence insert X" is unwieldy, and bound to take far longer than traditional cursor control with keys or mouse.
- scott_s 16y agoI had a similar thought: how much of the writing process for me is keyed up by actually writing it? That is, I think that the act of typing is now, in my brain, tied to the creative process of writing. I could adapt, of course, but it would take time and effort.
