I never expected an AI app to replace my keyboard, but I was wrong

A new tool called Wispr Flow allows writers to use voice dictation instead of typing, enhancing speed and efficiency in the writing process. Current writing methods show that 71% of writers type on a keyboard, 9% use voice dictation, 18% use a mix of both, and 3% utilize AI-assisted editing. Wispr Flow captures spoken words accurately, including mid-sentence corrections, which helps users avoid the frustrations of traditional voice typing tools. However, there are occasional issues with dropped words or incorrect punctuation. Many users report a 90-95% accuracy rate with the tool, leading to subscriptions and a shift towards voice dictation for initial drafts, while keyboards are still used for editing. This hybrid approach reflects a balance between traditional writing methods and modern technology.
