I use Google voice dictation to transcribe emails and text messages on my phone constantly. Not like "I tried it for a week and then went back". I have been using it daily for months. It's now vastly faster than typing it in by hand on a phone, and even the per-word error rate is actually better than mobile typing.

- leereeves 9y agoThat's not to say that voice dictation is good enough to trust your life to (as in autonomous driving), just that mobile typing is even worse.
- jessriedel 9y agoThe interesting distinction isn't between life-dependent and non-life-dependent, it's between worse-than-human and better-than-human. I wouldn't "trust my life" to never making a typing error, and yet I trust my life to the driving my fingers do...and statistically, I have a small but real chance of death.
- leereeves 9y agoPersonally, if the car isn't going to drive significantly better than a human, I'd rather drive myself. I prefer to be responsible for my own safety.
