But it's literally not. You already correct yourself and revise your speech in an append-only rolling edit. You do it all day every day for decades.

Versus never writing in this way.

Have you tried the voice-based prompting, as I'm describing?

"never" schmever. I never ramble unrestrained either. Deciding not to edit at all is a skill either way. If you just want the equivalent of voice in a normal way, you remove backspace and that's it.

> Have you tried the voice-based prompting, as I'm describing?

I've never prompted a thing. I can just see your distinction is nonsense. If you think it's hard you're doing it wrong.

And wow I did that post without revising a thing. Wow.

Right. So the crux of the issue here is you have no experience with what's being discussed, while I do.

Sheesh, imagine thinking you choose not to rewind time and "edit" the speech that has already come out of your mouth lmao.

I'm doing it right now you goober! Stop calling it hard!

What experience do you insist I'm lacking in something I'm doing right now?

[estearum]

Maybe you lost the thread, but this is a conversation about using dictation (specifically modern dictation tools like Whisper derivatives) to prompt coding agents.

[Dylan16807]

Do you think it suddenly becomes harder to avoid backspace when you're in a different text box?

The thing you're claiming is hard, writing exactly the way you would speak, is not hard.

There's also some additional benefit to going with the flow and not thinking about words much before saying them, but that's equally hard with text or voice.

You just said like two comments ago you have no experience with this. Not sure why you keep acting like you do.
