A tech writer tests speaking to AI instead of typing prompts
A tech writer has been using ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini by speaking to them instead of typing prompts.
She says typing can become tedious when a request is complicated or needs a lot of context.
One option is dictation, which turns speech into text that can be sent to a chatbot.
Some dedicated dictation tools also clean up speech by removing filler words and improving readability.
Another option is a chatbot’s voice feature, which lets people interact by speaking.
The story introduces these methods but does not give enough detail to explain which one the writer preferred or what she concluded.
Tech journalist Mahnoor Faisal tested speaking to AI chatbots instead of typing prompts.
She used ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini, saying she had been using them this way for the last couple of weeks.
The article describes built-in dictation, which transcribes spoken prompts into text.
It also describes dedicated dictation tools such as Wispr Flow, which can remove filler words and improve readability.
Faisal says speaking can help when a request is complicated or requires a lot of context.

This story does not have two clearly opposing sides.
When you have a particularly complicated request or a lot of context to provide, that can get tedious pretty quickly.
Flow is the one I personally use, simply because its transcripts are extremely accurate, well-formatted, and the tool works across all my devices and apps.
