New App: SuperWhisper Talk-to-Text
The Shift from Hands-On to Hands-Free
A newsletter about independent entrepreneurship & wellbeing.
Curated by David Sherry, Founder of Death to Stock and guide to founders navigating building lifestyle independence.
The words that you're reading right now were me speaking this email out loud to a new application I have on my Desktop called Superwhisper.
Again, everything you're reading right now was spoken out loud by me.
This is a desktop app that uses AI to do incredibly high-quality transcription and editing while you talk.
I think that audio and audio-related AI is going to fundamentally change the way that we use our devices.
Right now we are so trapped by using devices with our hands, using the screens…
Audio is the feature that will truly free us up from needing to be so involved in using our mouse and our computer and devices with our hands to accomplish things.
Pair audio interfaces with AI agents, and we unlock even greater potential.
These agents will soon be capable of completing tasks on our behalf and reporting back in real-time.
Think about how much time you currently spend searching Google, sifting through articles, or tasks like booking travel.
Now, imagine delegating those tasks to an AI assistant. Instead of manually searching for answers, an AI agent provides instant, actionable results—like the leap from traditional search engines to ChatGPT’s instant responses. That’s the magnitude of change we’re heading toward.
The application cleans up your text as you speak and formats it for the type of post you want.
So your words are filtered and cleaned up depending on the context you want to write in.
This makes me very happy as somebody who likes to go on long walks during the day!
Hopefully where I can functionally get some work done while moving, while being outside, and through dictating what I want to happen via a filter of an AI or an AI agent to go get work done on my behalf.
Thanks for being here! As I explore my own expansion and growth alongside dozens of entrepreneurs, I intend to curate what I find (products, articles, events, resources) that make a difference inside and out. If you enjoy these letters please forward to a friend you think would benefit!
