This is what I really don't get: What's wrong with just typing? Its more private, and can be efficiently documented and shared (unlike a voice agent, which has to waste energy translating audio back to text).

I mean... Wispr flow is still great tho

Typing is better. But sometimes my hands are full. I've tried to use Claude Voice Mode while doing outdoor tasks away from my computer in my podcast listening time.

ChatGPT Advanced Voice Mode works fine, but Claude Voice is unusable, sadly. I'd rather talk to Claude! I would also like to try Gemini Live.
