Typing used to be my superpower. I took a typing class in high school, worked as a temp some in high school (a long time ago) when typewriters were still in use, and can hit 50–60 words per minute without looking at the keyboard. But voice is radically changing the way I work and think.

Speaking is three to four times faster than typing. For me, it unlocks a different kind of thinking — more fluid, more creative. I now use voice first for almost everything: building projects, talking to AI tools, mapping out blog posts, taking notes. Typing still has its place, but the combination of speed and creativity I get from voice is reshaping how I work and this has only been in the past 3-6 months.

One of the things I find most powerful about many of these apps is that you can build in custom guidance — tell the tool how you like things edited, what tone to use, what format to output. You can essentially create different systems depending on what you're working on, whether that's a newsletter, a quick note, or a full piece of content. That level of personalization makes them genuinely useful, not just fast.

Here are the tools I've been using and trust enough to share.

Monologue — One of my favorites. You can get it standalone or bundled into an every.to subscription. Every.to is genuinely one of the best AI media companies out there — real resources, real guidance on AI in business and upskilling, plus they're building their own tools. Worth the yearly subscription on its own. I am already in the top 6 % of users and see my stats below. One challenge is it only for Mac/IOS for now.

VoiceDash — A newer tool we've been testing is voicedash.ai. Super fast, very affordable, and has a solid free tier. Impressed so far. They are also offering a special lifetime deal.

A few notes: There are dozens of other options. So, whether you want to try one of these or something else, I encourage you to check out how using voice at the center of your work can really change what you do and free up tons of time for deeper impact work. Most offer a free level, and if you're on a MacBook, the built-in voice transcription is surprisingly decent. Android is more hit-or-miss — I've gotten a fair number of grammatical errors using it on phone.

If you prefer handwritten notes, that's valid too. There's real power in pen and paper. But if you haven't seriously tried voice tools yet, this is a good moment.
