If you're programming, definitely check out Cursorless: https://www.cursorless.org/.

Talon itself provides noise and speech recognition, and provides the framework that allows you to build automations with any program; Cursorless really helps make programming by voice feel comparable to typing.

For me, it's a combination of introducing alternate input methods (largely voice, but noises are also very additive -- they very well for fast/discreet actions, whereas voice is higher bandwidth but lower latency), as well as building higher-level and better integrations with applications. But I still have always to go personally.

I've been meaning to write up a blog post with everything that I've learned, but you know how it is :)

Edit: I meant to say that voice is higher bandwidth _and_ higher latency, not lower.
+1 on that blog post!
