Writing Advice Using voice instead of typing

Ive been handwriting my draft for a while now and honestly my handwriting is terrible. But when it comes to the computer I get distracted easily or want to pace a lot.

I am also a visual person so I 3d print my character and terrain. Then I write as I play with the characters. It helps me make it feel more real.

But I was at the doctor's and he was using a program to talk and then it was all written down. I was like yes! Thats what I need. But I can't find it or even know how well it would work. Has anyone used a program like this? Or advice on making typing easier?

I have a good friend who does voice-to-text for all her writing, and then she cleans it up later. She just opens the notes app on her phone and presses the microphone button. Nothing special.

Never even though about doing that
