At 2 seconds per word you're probably better off with speech recognition. But it wouldn't work in loud traffic.

- pmoriarty 6y agoA throat microphone[1] might work. Another interesting option would be some kind of subvocal recognition device.[2] [1] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Throat_microphone https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Throat_microphone [2] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subvocal_recognition https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subvocal_recognition

- egypturnash 6y agoAh yeah, I missed that. I bicycle everywhere and I sure would not wanna try taking my attention off the road. Might be different if I was taking long cruises down the blue highways like Behemoth was designed for. And probably quiet enough for dictation to have a decent chance to work. Two-finger keyboard sounds like something that goes in the bin of "weird keyboards only nerds with tons of time to learn to use them can love" though, right next to all the other chording keyboards people have made over the years...
- mulmen 6y agoBehemoth had speech recognition. Although I'm not sure it could do dictation.

- mulmen 6y agoSome of the linked articles mention macros such as OTR for on the road. That's one typed word for three written words. It also apparently had speech recognition. I'm very curious how capable this thing was. It has parts that sound familiar but the capabilities sound alien.
