Talon itself provides noise and speech recognition, and provides the framework that allows you to build automations with any program; Cursorless really helps make programming by voice feel comparable to typing.
For me, it's a combination of introducing alternate input methods (largely voice, but noises are also very additive -- they very well for fast/discreet actions, whereas voice is higher bandwidth but lower latency), as well as building higher-level and better integrations with applications. But I still have always to go personally.
I've been meaning to write up a blog post with everything that I've learned, but you know how it is :)
Once I ended that one bad relationship in my life, my mind stopped messing up the most used part of my body to send me signals that I’m actually chewing on life’s gristle.
My wrists have been pain free for 15 years. Without surgery. Without therapy. Without a change in work hours.
1. Motorized standing desk - typing from varying postures keeps strain spread out
2. Kensington trackball mouse - less hand sweeping / temptation to drags wrist on table
3. Ortholinear "Planck" keyboard - modifier keys accessible via thumb and programmable layers more generally can completely eliminate painful hand poses and keep fingers on the home-row
For the dragging wrist problem, I really like the reloot or other similar gliding palm rests. I find upgrading them with ceramic lights makes a big difference.
I recommend breaks and rest over strengthening exercises when dealing with hand pain. Learn preventative measures
