Speech-To-Text Apps Will Increase Your Productivity?

Authors and Content creators, or any other Freelancer out there,
Do you believe you can increase your productivity by using speech-to-text apps?

I have to say that I've always been fond of these sort of apps but I've never really used them myself. I can see why they are good and why these could potentially help you during your hectic days. - But do you believe these apps can and will increase your productivity on a daily basis if you're using them correctly?

I've heard many different stories about these and most people seem to believe that they'll shorten the time it takes you to write things, even though you'll have to go back and edit the text afterwards as the speech-to-text apps will mishear you.

Also, do you think speech-to-text apps will be best to use if you're writing long articles or entire ebooks for instance, compared to shorter content?

What's your take on this?

Best Regards,

No I think that they might end up making me waste more time since often you will have to spend a lot of time editing, which when you sum it all up will add up to more time than how much I would have spent on typing. To be honest I never used them, so I am just stating what I think. But that is the impression that I have about these apps. Obviously if someone can recommend a really accurate one I would give it a go.

At this stage no, I don't think Speech To Text apps will increase my productivity. I have tried one or two times with speech recognition and I don't know if it is my accent that is odd or what the problem is, but there are too many errors which I find annoying.

I find it much easier to just write than it is to edit something. It takes much quicker to write something than it takes to edit things. I find it very annoying.

I also find it easy to plot my work when I write by adding my sub sections and headings, then I fill in the missing bitties. I can't do this talking.

I am sure that some people might find that this type of app makes life easier but for me it doesn't.

I have tested on my phone the speech-to-text function and I'd say it's great for amusement. The issue I see is the accuracy of words since the conversion is totally dependent on the pronunciation. I said amusing because it's fun to see the words I am saying with a feeling of high technology. But the other issue is the consumption of the phone's battery, that function is like a gas-guzzler car in terms of power. Maybe for those having difficulty in typing, that speech-to-text app is okay to use.
