Why Voice Typing Helps with Arthritis
Zero Hand Strain
Eliminate keyboard and mouse use completely. Speak your thoughts without putting stress on inflamed joints or painful hands.
Faster Than Typing
Even on good days, arthritis slows typing speed. Speaking is naturally faster and requires zero hand movement or finger dexterity.
Reduce Flare-Ups
Repetitive typing movements can trigger arthritis flare-ups. Voice typing prevents this by eliminating repetitive hand motions entirely.
Stay Productive at Work
Don't let arthritis limit your career. Continue working, emailing, and documenting without compromising your hand health.
