For those thinking about speed: an average human talks anywhere from 120-240 words per minute. An average human who touch types is probably 1/3 to 1/2 as fast as that, while an average human on a phone probably types 1/5 as fast as that. But for me speed isn't even the issue. I can dictate to Siri at near-regular-speech speeds -- and then spend another 200% of the time that took to fix what it got wrong. I have reasonable diction and enunciation, and speech to text is just that bad while walking down the street. If this is as accurate as they're showing, it would be worth it just for the accuracy. | ||

I agree, but I think LLM-based voice input is a lot better. I’m using OpenAI’s realtime API for my Apple Watch app, and it does wonders, even editing can be as simple as “add a heart emoji at the end”, and it just works. | ||
