TL;DR. Repetitive strain injury — carpal tunnel, tendonitis, cubital tunnel — ends careers when no one builds the right tool. Neo is that tool. It's a sub-100ms voice interface for the entire Mac, built by an engineer who developed RSI and refused to stop coding.
"I built Neo after watching my own typing capacity collapse. I needed a tool where voice felt like a keystroke — instant, accurate, and private. None existed, so I shipped it."
RSI is a structural problem (the keyboard hasn't changed in 50 years) treated as an individual failing. The reframe: change the input device. Voice-first computing is not "for accessibility users" — it's a more general-purpose interface that happens to also solve hand-pain failure modes.
The single largest variable in RSI recovery is reducing keystroke volume. Most Neo users see typing volume drop 60–80% in week one.
The unspoken cost of RSI is career exit. Neo is designed so a senior engineer can keep shipping at full velocity — hands-free.
On-device processing means medical, financial, and proprietary work doesn't transit a third-party cloud — important for accessibility users on regulated teams.
Most voice tools introduce 500–1500ms of cloud round-trip. Neo is 60–80ms median. That's the line between "voice is annoying" and "voice is a keystroke."
