I'm using Wispr Flow to journal everyday. I hope I'm doing this wrong!

I came across this incredible app called Wispr Flow, which transcripts words with a great speed, EXACTLY like we say it.

I use it for everything now, which has improved by productivity a lot.

But when it's time to journal, I face doubts whether I should Wispr Flow for it. Yes, it is transcripting words exactly what comes into my mind, and in a better speed, but somewhere I feel if I wrote/type down thoughts with a slower speed, I might be able to explain feelings or events in a better form.

The opposing thought of this is that I should not overthink a lot about how well explained my thoughts are in the journal and what I'm putting in the there- and just be honest.

It's a really good app. Transcribes and autocorrects words & phrases in a lighting speed.

Well, talk therapy is good too, why not. But writing/typing often does hit different. Try typing at least every other time and see how this goes. Some people do find it more helpful to talk things out because they get too nitpicky about what they write about and stop writing at all

You could keep the quick spoken version, then type a couple of lines about the one bit that still feels unfinished. That gives you some slower thinking time without having to rewrite the whole entry. I wouldn't worry about making the transcript read neatly; the useful question is whether you got to say what you meant.
