I have never used such software, and I won't. It's so much faster to
write than to speak. It's so much tiring and slower to speak than to
write. And computers are so inept at recognizing speech.

You do, of course, realise, that this last reason is the only one that's not plain nonsense. If computers could understand you flawlessly, there would only be only marginal use for keyboards. Of course, the CLI would have to be adapted.
