About 15 years ago, I discovered an incredible productivity hack - I can talk at a million words an hour, which is significantly faster than I can clumsily type. As a journalist and reviewer, what I needed to increase my productivity was voice dictation software.
There was only one option for Mac OS at the time - Dragon Dictate (Sadly, now discontinued but you can still use Dragon Professional on Windows). After an hour of reading the Dragon scripted text into a microphone, I was ready to start talking instead of typing. The result was that it significantly reduced the time it took me to write articles, but what I really wanted was the ability to do this on my phone.
