Not biting satire. He may be known for that but he is equally known for being a Republican and this line of reasoning and the language is par for the course.
necessarily the same thing nor do they represent the same cognitive process. I can see where good speech to text software would be a useful tool but hardly a replacement or even mainstay. What's with this techno-yearning for a return to pre-literate oral culture? Hell, just dispense with the to-text part and post/publish/purvey the sound file. I find enough difference between handwriting words and typing them as far as my cognitive processes go. Yes, sometimes I speak something very eloquently, clearly and yet complexly as the situation demands and it would be nice to have that captured instantly. But the famously witty Algonquin Roundtable conversations transcribed to print as banal and stilted. The several posters who have pointed out the difference between typos and transcription errors (former are much easier to rectify on the fly)are right on the mark. The Henry Higgins posters are really engaged in wishful thinking.
