Voice Is the New Keyboard

Continuing with last week’s post on doing a voice dump into AI tools, another theme I’m bullish on is using voice in general.

One of the most popular products changing the way people work through voice is called Wispr Flow. Unlike voice transcription of the past, where the accuracy was much lower, tools like Wispr Flow feed the voice transcription into AI. The AI makes sense of what you were trying to say, fixes grammar, punctuation, and capitalization, understands things like proper nouns, and dramatically improves the quality of the output.

If you don’t want to download and try a new product just for voice, the great news is that ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok all have voice interfaces built in. You can simply start talking, and the AI will clean up what you say.

What I’ve found personally is that when I’m working on presentations, doing research, or thinking through ideas for my writing, I can do a voice dump straight into an AI tool or something like Wispr Flow. Within minutes, I have the beginnings of a foundation in clean, plain text. From there, I can whittle it down, refine it, reorganize it, and edit it.

Entrepreneurs would do well to start thinking about voice as much more than a faster way to dictate a text message on their iPhone. Voice is becoming a new way to interface with computers. Voice is a way to think with AI. Voice is a way to write.

And, of course, most people would rather talk than write.

If you’re not using voice multiple times per day to interface with your phone and laptop, you’re missing out on one of the best productivity gains AI has created.
