I love this! I speak my thoughts all the time. When I write a post on Substack, I'll dicate the the whole story first and then rewrite it. I hadn't really thought about why I do that, but your post really resonates. 🙂
Nice! I follow a similar process for my writing. Being able to speak a super rough cut and then start rewriting almost always feels better than facing down the blank page for me. Thanks for reading!
Excellent post, Patrick. I am speaking this comment into Voibe, a fast, private and easy AI voice-to-text tool I recently found. The upside: It costs half or less the price of the apps you mentioned The downside: It's only available for Mac. For any of your readers who use a Mac, I suggest checking out Voibe at getvoibe.com.
A savvy prediction, Patrick. A couple of years ago, Apple's built-in text-to-speech tool felt like magic. Now it feels clunky without AI. Apple needs to spend some pocket change to buy Voibe or one of the tools you mentioned.
I've just started using Monologue—maybe 2 weeks in. Still a little awkward, but I've been dictating my prompts to Claude more and more. What I haven't tried yet is to use it for writing. The act of typing is still assemblage for me. But I'll give it a shot.

That’s great! Thanks for sharing.
Honestly I think this functionality will be built-in / free sooner rather than later. But for now, good to just start practicing however you can!

I hope you keep posting about this topic.
