eyetracking requires dedicated hardware I don’t have. the disability level it takes before talon is a great augmentation is very slight—in general, speaking sloppily because this isn’t the best way to express the social model of disability, but it’s a solid one—disability is when you need transhumanism to be considered “normal” by society. (a society without the concept of disability would be one where transhumanism was so completely pervasive that no relative difference was perceptible no matter how internally weak the person’s original body.)
Talon is great for impromptu dictation. it’s not as good as whisper at dictation but it is dang close, and it’s much faster. I’m hopeful it’ll get whisper integration for dictation at some point. but in the meantime, it’s great to have it when my fingers are too cold to type. I’d def suggest trying it out just in case, and if you like it, keep using it. it’s distinctly better than dragon and patreon-supported, and I can in fact get stuff done coding with it. (though usually I use it for web browsing. eg I typed this comment but can still go, computer wake, press escape, hints on, click arch prime, tab close,)
checked out talon. looks amazing for people with disabilities.
now as a person with no obvious disabilities i wonder if it’s still worth it to learn it for:
just incase
maybe eyetracking etc would make it easier to do things on my computer vs mouse & kbd.
any opinions?
