alt Hacker NewsI will plug Willow for mac recording. IMO it's basically to me a "better than perfect transcription" as it cleans things up and is almost instant. I liked Superwhisper but switched to Willow as it was a big difference.
Its so good that I'm not sure that it's possible to get any better. Speech to text seems like basically a solved problem, if not now then definitely in 5 years. I don't know if any of these speech to text businesses will work in the long run, but for consumers they are great. My guess is the 2030 version of Apple's SpeechAnalyzer will be so good that nobody will need to use 3rd party software.
What isn't solved is domain-specific jargon with these tools. When i talk to my coding agent, i want to be able to speak the names of symbols and files and have it be aware of that stuff, like having LSP integration.
If I say 'useSuspenseQuery' I want it to come out as useSuspenseQuery not 'use suspense query'. Even if I had to say 'symbol useSuspenseQuery' to give a hint that i'm referencing a symbol, that would be fine.
