I'm tired of people always jumping on the latest technological hype-train. O.K Typing is great but I used Speech successfully for decades before it was deprecated and I'm not going to jump on the latest trend and change my whole workflow and tooling just because young devs want to add the cool new tech like "Typing" to their resumes.
Words are semantic units, they are by definition and purpose: meaningful.
Speech is also:
* Synchronous
* A faster form of communication than the fastest typers
* A much much faster form of communication than the average typer
* Has incredibly good built-in features for communication like:
* The ability to see who's currently talking
* The ability to communicate a thought almost continuously rather than discretely
* The ability to be interrupted to provide new information when necessary
* Built-in styling features like tone, feeling, volume to emphasize important information
* Built-in synchronous next-speaker negotiation
* Privacy respecting and non-binding which is incredibly important in heavily regulated industries where everything recorded must be very carefully thought out because it might come up in discovery 10 years later
