For years, I was a staunch holdout against voice dictation. As a content writer, my keyboard is an extension of my brain. For me, a silent keyboard is the way to go (more so after having a baby) compared to mechanical ones. Whatever I can think of goes directly to the destination through my keyboard. The idea of speaking my thoughts for an article, to me, felt unnatural, slow, and, honestly speaking, a little embarrassing if anyone else was in the room.
