Maybe you lost the thread, but this is a conversation about using dictation (specifically modern dictation tools like Whisper derivatives) to prompt coding agents.

Do you think it suddenly becomes harder to avoid backspace when you're in a different text box?
The thing you're claiming is hard, writing exactly the way you would speak, is not hard.
There's also some additional benefit to going with the flow and not thinking about words much before saying them, but that's equally hard with text or voice.
You just said like two comments ago you have no experience with this. Not sure why you keep acting like you do.
I hadn't before. Then I started doing it just to show how easy it was.
It doesn't matter what text box you're typing in. The ability to type as you'd speak is easy. Without any extra delays or issues.
I hope you're not trying to argue that typing the same way into an AI prompt is harder than doing it into HN. It's just not hard in any situation. Voice isn't special.
