The big problem with that seems to be what happened to Asimov, who turned out to be able to dictate (but not type) much faster than he could think
Ouchie. He used to type 90 words a minute, which seems to me quite fast enough...
Me, I cannot get my head around dictation. Writing is a process of craft, out of my head through my hands to the keyboard; I love the mechanical fact of typing (and the fact that I'm good at it: not 90wpm good, perhaps, but swift enough and almost error-free), and I can't function well without it. Hell, I can't even talk without using my hands; how would I write?
