AI Dictation for People with RSI
Use your computer with less typing. A single global hotkey turns voice into text across whatever app you are in, so wrists and forearms get a real break each day.
Why typing is slowing people with RSI down
Pain creeps in by mid-afternoon
By two or three p.m. the forearms ache and the wrists feel hot. The last few hours of the day become a slow trudge of careful keystrokes, ice packs, and pretending the pain has not started.
Typing-heavy days get dreaded in advance
A morning full of long emails or a long-form doc means blocking the afternoon for recovery. Whole days get rearranged around the keyboard load instead of around the work that actually needs your thinking.
Per-app dictation tools never cover everything
Built-in OS dictation is clunky in one app, missing in another, and broken in the third. You end up copy-pasting between a dictation window and the actual app, which makes the wrist load worse than just typing.
The apps people with RSI dictate into
Gmail
Clear the inbox without the long-email typing load on wrists.
Slack
Reply to threads at speaking speed across every channel.
Notion
Draft docs and notes without forty minutes of keyboard work.
Microsoft Word
Move long-form drafts forward without typing-pain afternoons.
Google Docs
Capture memos and reports by voice in shared drafting tools.
Microsoft Outlook
Triage corporate email without taping up the wrists by lunch.
Cursor
Leave PR comments and prose notes by voice while coding less.
Linear
File tickets and write context without the typing tax.
A day with Amical
- Morning
Sit down, stretch the wrists, open the inbox. Twenty long emails get dictated through a single hotkey across Gmail, Slack, and Notion — the queue clears with almost no keystrokes.
- Late morning
Long-form doc that would normally trigger an afternoon ice pack: dictate the first draft straight into Notion in thirty minutes. Hands stay off the keyboard for most of it.
- Afternoon
Usually the dread block. Today the typing budget is small, so spend the time on a Linear ticket and a Word memo by voice, with only a light edit pass on the keyboard at the end.
- Evening
Wrists are warm but not throbbing for once. Dictate two personal emails and tomorrow's plan into Notion, shut the laptop, give the hands a real rest instead of more ibuprofen.
What Amical does for people with RSI
One hotkey, every app
Amical lives at the OS layer, not inside a specific app. One global hotkey turns voice into text in whatever window has focus — inbox, doc, ticket, chat — so the wrist load drops across the whole day instead of just in one tool.
Cut keystrokes by most of the day
Replacing typed prose with voice removes most of the keystrokes from emails, docs, tickets, and chat. The keyboard is still there for code, shortcuts, and edits, but the long-form writing load that drives most flare-ups quietly disappears from the calendar.
Accurate even when you are tired
Late-day dictation accuracy matters most when the wrists are sore and the voice is slightly worn. Amical handles tired speech, low energy, and soft delivery cleanly, so the last hour of the day is not the worst hour of transcription quality.
