Voice prompting vs typing
`2:16:23`
I type the whole thing. I actually, in Omarchy's built-in Voxtype-... Audio transcription, and it's actually really good. I just find that I don't think that way, and it surprised myself that I don't like to talk to the computer. Uh, I like when I'm in the car, but when I'm in front of the keyboard, I just wanna type. I also just love typing. Are you using the voice?
`2:18:52`
... I haven't, yeah, I haven't used it that, and maybe that's how I'm using it wrong. I try to just type or speak two sentences, and then I get a little frustrated that I could've typed that just as fast maybe. But I have not tried this whole thing of just talking continuously for 20 minutes.
`2:19:12`
Yeah. No, I could see it. I think because the reason I've been, I've been trying to do it for things like replying to emails, and it got to a point where I thought it could help. And it sort of did, but then it would make a small mistake, and I'd have to correct the mistake. But if you're doing stream of conscious to an LLM who doesn't care about all this other stuff anyway-... that probably works way better.
`2:20:22`
Correct. Then I can't use it for dictating an email.
`2:20:43`
You gotta vibe code this into an app that does all of this such that-... it just works.
`2:20:59`
It seems like you've gotten much closer to the best of what's possible by putting all these things together.
