Despite possessing a typing speed of 107 words per minute, the author, Sharon Yeh, advocates for the use of Voice AI to enhance efficiency by reducing the cognitive load associated with translating thoughts into structured text. Yeh argues that the real bottleneck in productivity isn't typing speed, but the mental effort required to phrase and structure thoughts, which she refers to as the "translation tax." By using Voice AI, she can express ideas more naturally and delegate routine tasks, allowing her to focus on the content rather than its construction. The hybrid approach of using both voice and keyboard enables her to lower friction between thought and execution, where voice is used for idea generation and routine tasks, while the keyboard is reserved for precision editing. This strategic use of both tools facilitates a smoother transition from concept to execution, making the process more efficient.
