Blended editor

There are things I like about typing, and things I like about dictating text. The latter has recently become far easier and more accurate, thanks to Google.

Ideally I would like to be able to seamlessly blend together the two modes. Each has complementary advantages, and the right combination of the two could be incredibly productive.

I haven’t seen anybody make a combined system of typing + dictation work truly well. From what I have seen, you are left to simply choose either one or the other — the two modalities don’t really know about each other in a way that lets them work well together.

There is an opportunity here. And after we get it working well for natural language text, let’s see if we can extend it to programming languages.
