Talk faster than you type: why we built dolfinspeak

Typing is the slowest part of thinking. You know what you want to say long before your hands can spell it out, and that gap — between the idea and the text on screen — is where momentum goes to die.

We built dolfinspeak to close that gap. Hit a key, talk the way you naturally would, and get back clean, punctuated text wherever your cursor is. No window to open, no flow to break.

The bet

Speech is the fastest interface most people already own. The problem was never that talking is slow; it’s that turning talk into usable text has always been clumsy. dolfinspeak is our attempt to make that last step disappear.
