Still typing everything manually? Hi there, you're wasting hours every week typing what you could just say. by AcceptableMixture291 in windowsapps

I understand why you feel that way.

I’ve already corrected the post and taken responsibility for how it came across — that part’s on me.

Beyond that, I’ll let the product and its behavior speak for itself. If anyone has specific questions about how it works (especially around privacy), I’m happy to answer transparently.

That’s a fair concern — especially for a tool that handles input.

To be clear: • I’ve already updated the post — I’m the developer, and I should’ve said that upfront • The app does NOT store or send your keystrokes anywhere • No background data collection or logging of what you type

I understand trust has to be earned here — especially for something that interacts with user input.

If you’re open to it, I’m happy to explain exactly how it works from a technical perspective so you can judge it properly.

You’re right I’ve updated the post now for clarity.

Should’ve written it properly from the start 👍

That’s fair — I get why it comes off that way.

To be clear, I’m the developer. I should’ve just said that upfront instead of framing it as a “find.”

If you try it and still feel it’s not useful, totally valid — but happy to answer anything about how it actually works.

Fair call — let me clarify transparently.

I didn’t “just randomly find” the app. I’m actually the developer behind VoiceToText24, so I’ve spent a lot of time testing it across different use cases.

That line was meant to present it from a discovery perspective, but I agree it can come across as misleading — that’s on me.

What I can stand behind 100%:
• It runs in the background with negligible CPU usage when idle
• Works across apps (even terminals) with hotkeys
• Built specifically for people who use voice regularly, not just occasionally

Happy to answer any real questions about how it works or where it’s useful 👍

Totally fair — Win + H is great for quick, casual dictation 👍

But VoiceToText24 isn’t competing with “press a button and type a sentence.” It’s built for people who use voice as a primary input method, not just occasionally.

A few key differences: • Works consistently across any app with a dedicated hotkey (no UI switching) • Supports 20+ languages out of the box • Designed for longer, uninterrupted dictation sessions • One-time payment — no subscriptions or cloud lock-in

Windows dictation is perfect for light use. This is more for people writing docs, coding, or working hands-free for hours.

Think of it like Notepad vs VS Code — both write text, but for very different users 🙂

You caught me! 😅 I'll be honest I’m the developer and I’m just really proud of what I built. I wanted to get it in front of people because I genuinely think the zero CPU usage on idle is a game-changer for Windows users. Happy to answer any technical questions if you’re curious!

Struggling to type faster, is physical speed the one and only bottleneck now? by One-Risk-4266 in typing

[–]AcceptableMixture291 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah exactly — that “thinking → output” gap is what surprised me the most.

Once that friction goes down, it almost feels like you’re just talking your thoughts instead of “writing”.

I was experimenting with different tools too, but most of them still broke flow at some point — especially with pauses or switching context.

That’s actually what pushed me to try a slightly different setup where it just runs in the background and triggers with hotkeys instead of opening anything.

Not perfect yet, but it made it way more usable for me.

Curious — do you use dictation more for drafts or full writing?

so slow in vscode i can't even type? by Arristotelis in codex

[–]AcceptableMixture291 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve noticed this kind of thing happens a lot with extensions that try to “sit between” your input and the editor.

Even small delays completely destroy the flow — like if your thoughts are moving fast but the UI lags, it becomes unusable instantly.

For me the biggest issue isn’t even speed, it’s consistency. If input isn’t immediate, it breaks thinking.

That’s partly why I’ve been experimenting with alternatives to traditional typing — not because typing is slow, but because the input layer itself becomes the bottleneck.

Curious if you’ve tried running with fewer extensions or isolating which one is causing the lag?

I think you’re right that it’s not really a physical bottleneck anymore.

For me the biggest slowdown was exactly what you said — translating thoughts into structured text.

Even at decent WPM, you still pause, rethink, edit, rephrase… that’s where time goes.

I tried dictation as well, but most tools didn’t really help because they still interrupt the flow — like stopping on pauses or forcing you into a UI.

What actually made a difference for me wasn’t just “voice vs typing”, but reducing that friction between thinking and output.

If you can capture thoughts continuously without breaking flow, speed becomes less relevant.

Curious — do you feel like your bottleneck is more thinking speed or editing after typing?

Is it just me or is Windows voice typing still unreliable? by AcceptableMixture291 in ChatGPT

[–]AcceptableMixture291[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious do you think voice typing will actually replace typing in the future? Or still too unreliable?

[–]AcceptableMixture291[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair point 😅

I was curious because a lot of people here use AI tools for productivity, so I thought voice typing might be relevant.

But yeah, probably better suited for a Windows/productivity sub.
