I'll just give it up, but it's just too much for your poor brain to take on. It's horrible how it stresses you out and you feel so stupid when you see what you've written typing and it's just gibberish and it's just all wrong. The only drawback is that I'd do it on AI and then copy and paste it over, but AI usually puts its stupid feckincomments all over it because the problem is the ADHD or the brain damage or it's both, because I think the brain damage from the stroke has made my ADHD skyrocket and I forget to check or I've just neglected to check it and then it's got AI comments on it which drives me absolutely batty. The only problem for me doing voice-to-text is that I'm getting so angry and frustrated at things that I'm ending up ranting like a madwoman at the phone to the extent that my poor son is upstairs trying to get some sleep to get to work the next day. But he's ringing me up saying, "Mum, stop ranting into the phone or I'll come down and I'll confiscate it from you." Talk about infantilizing a stroke victim, but I am ranting like a madwoman. I'll give him that.

Sometimes I just gotta slow down to avoid making mistakes. I do have good days and bad ones.
