Speaking rather than Writing?

I once considered getting a headset that would type out words that I was saying onto the computer instead of me typing when I started my book, just to help out however decided that I would hate having to clarify words and think about formulating words while I was in the 'flow'. I just wondered would other people prefer speaking to typing?

Oh, I'm so sorry!

I think typing works better for me but when I'm writing dialogue I always act it out myself ie - I say it aloud the way I want it to be written then I can describe the way my voice changes as I say a word or the way my chest feels etc.

Dear, I sounds a little strange, don't I?
