By evening your wrists will not straighten

The doctor says type less. The job says the opposite. Between them are you and a keyboard, eight hours and thirty thousand keystrokes deep.

Screencast: a long email dictated in half a minute
Not filmed yet. The frame holds its place and shows the size.

What changes in the keystroke count

  1. 1A three-hundred-character email is three hundred keystrokes and a dozen mouse moves.
  2. 2Here it is one held key and half a minute of speech.
  3. 3It works in the window you are already in: mail, chat, a ticket, a search box.
  4. 4The keyboard stays where it is — you simply touch it less.

Honestly, what this is not

This is not a medical device and not a substitute for your doctor. It is a way to press fewer keys. Below is what it gives you, and what it does not.

The key is still heldDictation runs while the key is held down. There is no press-once-and-talk mode — worth knowing before you rely on it.
You choose the keyThe combination is set in Settings, so a movement that hurts can be routed around.
Long text, also spokenThere is no length limit. A two-page spec dictates the same way a one-line chat message does.
Nobody counts wordsNo daily cap, no monthly one: the worse your hands, the more you dictate, and that changes nothing about the price.
Free foreverDictating in your own language costs nothing and needs no account.
Punctuation, unpromptedYou neither speak it aloud nor go back and place it by hand.

Next to what people use

Voice input has been the answer here for a long time. What differs is the price of volume and where the speech goes.

macOS dictationchecked 08.2026Free, but in Russian it arrives without punctuation, which you then place by hand.
Cloud dictation appschecked 08.2026Count words, because every request costs the owner money.
Desktop speech suiteschecked 08.2026Often want you working in their window rather than the one you already write in.

The point here is that volume is free. Once dictation becomes your main way of writing, any word cap turns into a bill for your health. There is nothing to count: there is no server.

What it costs

Dictating in your own language is free forever, with no account and no cap on volume. The network is needed once, to download the speech model. The paid features start where one language goes in and a different one comes out.
