Agreed. A good first step towards accelerating that would be to stop giving the fossil fuel industry subsidies and instead give those subsidies to zero emission energy sources.
Solar is already the cheapest IIRC. If it got stupid cheap to the point of basically being free, a lot of people would switch over.
The dictation software we have is pretty shitty though. It almost always needs proof-read, or re-dictated several times to get it right. At that point you may as well just send an audio clip.
Until the day that dictation software gets it 100% correct, it's not going to be worth my time.
For now, the human on the other end will always have an easier time understand an audio clip than a machine, because human minds are more capable of using context and getting past regional accents.
It's already got 4 PRs
