I traded my keyboard for my voice

A while ago, I switched most of my typing to Wispr Flow, a voice dictation tool. Now I mainly speak instead of type, and it's made a real difference in my productivity. Two reasons:

1. It's much faster. My output of information has gone up a lot, so I work faster and better. This is especially true when writing AI prompts: when I speak, I naturally include more context and explain things the way I actually think. A typed prompt comes out more structured, sure — but the time I save by speaking is enormous. I even got a foot pedal to turn Wispr Flow on and off, so I don't need my hands at all.
2. Less strain on my hands. I used to get pain from too much typing and mousing. Using my voice has noticeably reduced it.

That change got me thinking about other ways to control my computer. Next target: the mouse.

First I tried head-tracking software, where you move the cursor with your head. It was hard to use, and I couldn't get anywhere near the precision I needed. So I wrote my own script to track my hand instead. I placed the camera at hand height to avoid "gorilla arm" — the fatigue you get from holding your arms up in front of a screen. Tracking my finger directly didn't work at first, so I switched to color tracking: now I put a small strip of pink paper on my finger, and the cursor follows it. It's not perfect yet, but I think replacing the mouse with hand control could be a genuinely interesting change.

Have you ever changed the way you use your computer?
