This is where speech to text models like Whisper and LLMs can make a real difference.


No -- those are for typing. This is about editing. Totally different things.


Just to be clear, the problem here isn’t entering text, but with editing it. With better keyboards, voice transcription, and physical keyboards on many tablets, getting text into a device is not the problem it used to be. However, you will always want to edit your words afterwards.

“Rewrite this sentence to be more concise”


I personally don’t like speech-to-text because then you’re broadcasting every word you write to everyone around you.

It might be better with a specially-trained model that uses stenographer-style compression that only you know, so drive-by eavesdroppers can’t translate your text entry on the fly.
