It's voice-to-text software; you hit the fn key and talk, and it uses AI to handle punctuation, capitalization, etc. But the speed isn't actually the main unlock for me. What changed my workflow is how it pairs with AI. When you're typing a prompt, you tend to write it linearly and ship it. When you're talking, you naturally loop back, add context, rephrase, contradict yourself, circle an idea from three angles before landing. All of that extra texture goes into the prompt, and the AI output gets noticeably better because of it. Honestly, even if dictation were the same speed as typing, I'd still use it just for this.
