You are almost certainly doing most of your computer work the slow way.
Think about the last time you sat down to write an email, rename a file, or work through a tricky problem at your desk. Chances are, your fingers went straight to the keyboard. And you are not alone — when Neo and I ask audiences how much of their computer time is spent typing versus talking, almost everyone is close to 100% typing.
In this How I AI episode, Neo and I make the case for voice as a core part of your workflow, not just a novelty. We cover when talking beats typing, how the different voice modes in your AI tools actually work, and the specific software we both rely on day to day.
Neo and I cover:
- Why talking is faster than typing for most people
- The science behind why voice unlocks better ideas
- When talking is clearly better
- When typing still wins
- The difference between dictation mode and advanced voice mode in tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, and Gemini, and which to use for different purposes.
- wisprflow.ai, Amantha's go-to dictation software
- Other dictation tools worth knowing about
- How to combine voice and typing in a one-two punch
