Not directly related but I'm curious:

To all those who like voice dictation - are you extroverted?

I absolutely hate the sound of my voice, and the thought of speaking my ideas in a public setting and interrupting people gives me a deep sense of anxiety.

I feel like I'm missing out on something when I look at this.

I’m maybe somewhere in between personally … I started with voice dictation because we were trying to quickly capture those random ideas when you’re getting out of bed or just having stream of consciousness thoughts. I would normally write out hypotheses and problems myself but I tend to get in my own head wording them and it’s been helpful to have microphone connect the dots so I can just test my strongest ideas quickly. As far as speaking about ideas in public, I live in NYC so maybe less of a problem here ;)
