"Dictation apps have been around for years, but in the past they've proved slow and inaccurate - unless you speak with particular accents and enunciate clearly. But advances in large language models (LLMs) and speech-to-text models have helped improve the systems that can decipher speech better while retaining the context to format the text. And developers have built in features to automatically format text, remove filler words, and ignore fumbles to output text that would need fewer edits."
"Wispr Flow is a well-funded AI dictation app that lets you add custom words and instructions for dictation. It has native apps for MacOS, Windows and iOS, and an Android version is in the works. The app lets you customize how its system transcribes your notes by letting you choose from "formal," "casual," and "very casual" styles for different kinds of writing, such as personal messaging, work, and email."
Advances in large language models and speech-to-text models improved dictation accuracy and context retention, enabling better automatic formatting and fewer required edits. Developers added features to remove filler words, ignore fumbles, and apply style presets for different writing tones. Many AI dictation apps emerged, offering varying platforms, pricing, and privacy choices. Wispr Flow provides customizable vocab and transcription styles, native MacOS, Windows, and iOS apps, limited free monthly quotas, and paid plans starting at $15 per month. Willow offers local transcript storage, opt-out of model training, automatic editing, and AI-assisted expansion from brief dictation.
