@clark@hachyderm.io @shanselman@hachyderm.io Well that would be one of the last places I'd like to have an LLM. At least for me, when I want to interact with the computer I'd like to tell it what to do and have it actually do that thing and not something entirely different. That said, accessibility is kinda one of these topics that get almost always overlooked and is basically at most only built by the people that actually need it. What could help is e.g. Nuance Dragon Professional.

@clark@hachyderm.io @shanselman@hachyderm.io Of course there is also a bunch of free and open source software available. However I don't really know what challenges your non-engineer friend is facing and that's also the only software I've been engaging with myself for a bit (while set up it up for people at a former workplace). It looked ok and they for sure liked it. (They even were the ones requesting this particular application to begin with)

@agowa338@chaos.social @clark@hachyderm.io @shanselman@hachyderm.io Dragon does seem to be the gold standard. Still in the deterministic camp, for macOS there’s Voice Control: https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/get-started-with-voice-control-mchl1a04f324/mac
