VoiceTaskManagerTyping code. Writing long documents. Editing text character by character. The keyboard is not going anywhere.
But it is losing its monopoly.
The problem with keyboards
Keyboards are slow for intent.
If I want to:
- open a project
- search something quickly
- schedule a reminder
- launch a tool
I don't want to:
- remember where it lives
- navigate menus
- switch windows
- context switch mentally
Keyboards force you to think in steps. Humans think in outcomes.
Voice is faster for intent
Voice is not good for precision. But it's excellent for what, not how.
"Open my project."
"Search Google for visa rules."
"Schedule shopping for Friday."
Those are intentions, not instructions.
The future isn't replacement — it's layers
This isn't about killing the keyboard.
The future looks like this:
- Voice for intent
- Visual selection for ambiguity
- Keyboard / mouse for precision
The keyboard becomes one of several input modes, not the only one.
That's not a downgrade. That's evolution.
