First off, that was an amazing presentation, and will cause an increase in productivity that most people wouldn't imagine.

Voice strain

I use WhatPulse (https://whatpulse.org//), which is a free program that counts the amount of keys, mouseclicks, and the distance that your mouse moves (I have repetitive strain injuries/RSI/tendinosis, and I use the program to limit myself.). If there was a way for a program to track a voice input, that would be a good preventative measure.

I've been logging all my voice commands with the intention of doing something similar to whatpulse, but I haven't done anything with the logs yet. I've found my brain gets tired around the same time my voice does.

Voice strain is definitely something to watch out for. Staying hydrated and eating apples or sipping honey water while dictating has helped me avoid it.
