It may be interesting to have it immediately insert the words, even if they are wrong, and when a sentence is finished, replace what has been written with the final corrected sentence.

Google released this awkwardly named app called edge eloquent recently that does exactly that.

In fact, it cleans up the entire paragraph that you just said, and even if you have meandering thoughts, it cleans those up too.

Actually, this above statement was fully dictated with iOS and it added all the punctuation automatically, so I think that iOS is also doing some of this natively. In fact, I’m on the iOS 27 beta and it seems to be doing an even better job of correcting itself and correcting earlier words and adding punctuation too.

This sounds fantastic, but I'm utterly surprised that Google, of all companies, only releases this for macOS and iOS, but not Android.

It’s an awkward app and the whole interaction just feels weird and kind of slapdash. I think it is meant to be a prototype.

But in this day and age it’s easy enough to at least write the iOS and Android versions. But maybe not dealing with the play store.

I tried this on my Mac soon after launch and it was consuming a significant amount of processor cycles even just sitting idle in the menu bar. (From memory, ~20% of an M1 Max.)

It may have been an early issue but with no obvious way to interact and report the issue and, eh, Google’s general attitude around customer satisfaction, I just gave up and deleted it again.

In fact, a few apps I have tried do exactly this inside the app themselves. There is a live textual field that displays whatever the model thinks, and this display constantly goes back and fixes earlier words.

So I know it's possible. I just want to integrate this with the paste-at-cursor feature that these apps have. I imagine the app would have to create a virtual keyboard and use backspace or arrow keys to go back and change things.
