Whoa. A friend of mine just told me about Wispr Flow, and it's just amazing. Here is a coupon to get a free month so you can decide for yourself if it's right for you.
Thanks, but no thanks. It’s like the HP printers that now require that you give them permission to save every image you scan. Epson and Brother do not, at least they didn’t a couple of years ago. Truth. Check the fine print and try to opt out.
While confessing absolute ignorance of any and all automated dictating systems, the first thought that comes to mind as I read your article, is "Can there be a hackable link in dictation systems, along all other means and ways to compromise personal data?" Or am I just broadcasting my ignorance of the technology?
Not to be paranoid, but since my car is listening to everything I say and passing it on for sale to the highest bidder, are you sure there's no back door in this doing something analogous?
I now have an inherent distrust of anything that is server or cloud-based (rather than a program on my computer). The tech industry has become "all Google" insofar as its core business model is really about surveillance than tech/ providing services and making a profit on that.
Yes, I realize that at this point even programs on your computer aren't particularly secure, but since most lemmings / sheeple blindly trust the personal info to "the cloud," I'm not sure the tech industry devotes much time and attention to folks who keep stuff on their own computer.

They sound like Apple, releasing their new OS Tahoe 26 in a very buggy condition. Plus the new update interface tricked me into upgrading when I was just trying to update pro video formats which could be done on Sequoia--I usually wait for a couple of updated versions before updating, or wait to hear reports of problems before I do it.
Anyway, so apparently this is an online translation service, sort of like Apple's Siri, or their dictation on iPhone (and possibly also now combined with the standalone app on MacBook they don't clearly tell you what's happening). I would prefer a standalone off-line app. Apple enhanced dictation is also inconsistent but I'm used to it I've been using it for like 13 years, first the one that was online and you would have to stop talking to see a printed out, then the standalone local version, for a good while now. It does make a lot of mistakes some of which is dependent on how clearly I speak, but sometimes it will just not know how to print certain words, unless perhaps you use them in a phrase. For example, "purported"--wait it finally got it right after about 10 tries giving me different things just before. I thought it wasn't supposed to learn. I can't think of them right now but there are a few words that it just won't print correctly. Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis--well it had no problem with that, probably because it's a well-known long word. OK I just found another one it won't print properly, aphorism--except it just did print it after failing a half dozen times by printing affirm, it's weird. Maybe it does use the cloud also sometimes. I think there are a bunch of proofreaders at Apple going over what you dictate and manually correcting it. That's a joke. It also makes a lot of mistakes with prepositions, I find. But if I were to speak more clearly and slowly it would probably not do that as much.
My experience with voice to text has been ongoing for decades and I've been using Google keyboard voice typing on Android for the last 5 years so, and it's very good if you're disconnected from the internet, but garbage while you're connected, so, you have to flip back and forth on that setting.
The other day I activated Windows 11 voice to text app on my PC and I've only used it once, but I found it very accurate.
Hi, Steve. Thanks for the free trial. I have downloaded it and tried using it. It looks like it will be great. Since It's 3 a.m. as I write this, I'm going to try to get some sleep now, but looking to do and more with Wispr Flow tomorrow. As part of the start-up, they of course gave me the opportunity to make a referral link, which I did. But there's a reason that I'm wondering if I copied it correctly, and I don't want to send out a bad link. Do you know, is there a way that I can contact them? I wanted to re-check on my link, and also to make sure that I am associated with your link for you to get credit. The first download failed, and I had to do it a second time. I also had to use a different email account the second time, so I don't know if that would have interfered at all. Anyway, I always like to have a way to get in touch with customer service just in case, but I don't see how to do that. I just dictated this to try it out, and it is great.
Thanks if you do have any contact information for them.
Thank you Steve, your the top Guinea P… appreciate your perseverance and diligence, making it simpler for the atypical Luddite, fortunate and blessed you using cutting edge tech and sharing it, making our transition simpler.. this is the way forward and future… best to you.. just saying
My Ray-Bans pack more AI than a sci-fi convention, but the only time I've bothered activating it was to whisper-scream "What time is it in Centre-Val de Loire?" at 3 a.m. during an absinthe-fueled fever dream. (Spoiler: It was bedtime everywhere.) Wispr Flow sounds like the dictation upgrade my lazy larynx needs—any chance it could hitch a ride on these shades for hands-free heresy? Free month coupon bookmarked!
typing sure works well. Encourages thinking more than talking does. Might limit one's output more toward what is actually useful. I never learned the dvorak keyboard even though M. Dvorak was my neighbor in west philadelphia 44 years ago. Surely I have less to say than M. Kirsch.
Yes, I would have to write down what I wanted to say and then read it into the thing. ☺️ I think pretty soon ai will just have a talking interface and users will just conduct conversations with it. Or it will just listen to everything you say and whisper in your budded ear corrections and suggestions. This will be useful for arguments where I always ruminate afterwards and think, “I should have said _____.
They should get on this ASAP because they have a unique feature set and they're definitely going to lose business to someone else if they don't get their shit together. Having customers that provide such valuable insight like this is a blessing. I hope they see this and properly respond to your feedback with real action.

What about privacy of what you dictate? Thanks.

"Stinking of you and scenting my glove." Whoops. Damn voice to text, It's supposed to say, "thinking of you and sending my love."

Why would I give big brother a sneak preview of my thoughts of work in progress?

Speech and writing are independent language systems in the brain. The writing you ain't the talking you.
Yes, I would have to write down what I wanted to say and then read it into the thing. ☺️ I think pretty soon ai will just have a talking interface and users will just conduct conversations with it.
