The author is clearly using this for prose (as opposed to code), and I wonder how it compares to dictation in terms of speed.
I've never really tried using text to speech for writing blog posts and the like, but I know David Sparks (MacSparky) swears by it; and he produces a lot more written content than I do.
my main use case was quick slack messages and emails. I haven't found any good dictation systems where the latency of starting / stopping it for really quick messages wasn't too high a barrier.
For longer form writing I have used dictation and I really liked it!
The real value of dictation, IMO, is it's so much easier to ramble verbally than via text, so you can just bang out a draft without getting blocked on picking the exact correct words.
