OK, what the hell is going on with #Siri #dictation on my phone? It is definitely adding words that I did not say.
For example, I said "Jones of Washington tasting room" and it typed "Jones Of Washington at Pybus." Pybus Market is the name of the building but I did not say this. It's obviously looking up information as I dictate. And yes Apple Intelligence is turned off.
I want dictation to type the words I say and only the words I say. #FuckAI

Speech-to-text has come a long way since I first used it in 2011.
I am using a model called Parakeet V3 shipped as part of the desktop app called Handy.
It is the fastest and most accurate dictation tool I've ever used.
Wrote a whole page of documentation using it today.
(Still had to do find/replace to convert groups of words into one PascalCase word.)

Enjoy diving deep down into the dark abyss that is @adamengst’s brain and learn how that brain influences his choice of dictation engines. He even hacks his Contacts database to fix non-contact dictation problems.

TechCrunch: Google quietly launched an AI dictation app that works offline. “Google on Monday quietly released an offline-first dictation app called ‘Google AI Edge Eloquent’ on iOS to take on the likes of Wispr Flow, SuperWhisper, Willow, and others. The app is free to download, and once its Gemma-based automatic speech recognition (ASR) models are downloaded, you can start dictating on your […]

RE: https://mastodon.social/@zugaldia/116351933343098498
The "Speed of Sound" app by @zugaldia, once you set up a custom global keyboard shortcut that doesn't conflict with GNOME's, is pretty amazing: https://flathub.org/en/apps/io.speedofsound.SpeedOfSound
This is the first time I experience reliable speech recognition for #dictation on the desktop, particularly on #Linux! Until now I had given up on that being a possibility.
Works really well in English. It struggles with French, but who doesn't?!

My injured finger is still too sore to do any typing. Luckily, #VoiceInk, an #opensource dictation app has been coming in clutch for Mac input needs while my finger heals.
It does the audio #transcription/processing locally (which is the only way I think voice data should be managed). I tried it out with the free trial and it's been surprisingly accurate and easy to use.
I recommend it if you're into dictation apps and I'd trust this more than Apple's built-in dication.

@scottwillsey sent in a fabulous review of the dictation app Wispr Flow. I'm wild about it too, so I added my two cents at the end of his post (hope you don't mind, Scott!)

Handy: privacy-preserving open-source speech-to-text.
I've recently discovered #Handy, a small #speechtotext (#dictation) application, that is open source and can use only local AI models on Linux, preserving the privacy of what I'm saying out loud by not sending it to some cloud servers. I found it handy (lol), so I figured that I could share some hardships that I've run into while setting it up on #ArchLinux #GNOME #wayland.
Thanks to @Jolivier for the discovery!

Another day, another AI app conquering new territory! Wispr Flow's AI-powered dictation is now live on Android, after its grand tour on Mac, Windows, and iOS. Are we ready to delegate all our typing to the machines, or is there still a charm to the keyboard?

One cool thing that I love is that you can add the Wispr Flow dictate function to your action button on your iPhone. You can hold and release to speak and hold and release again to stop dictation. Quite intuitive.

I think I have found something that will help me capture that creativity on the fly. It's called Notely Voice. If it works as well as I hope, I'll donate to the project. 😀
