// our take

You've used dictation. We're not going to explain it to you. We're here to be the fastest one you've ever touched, and the only one that doesn't lose your words the second the Wi-Fi sneezes. That's the entire product, and it's harder than it sounds.

// speed

Under a second to text. Always. Not "usually," not "once the API wakes up."

• 10 seconds of audio or 10 minutes — same sub-1-second latency. Latency doesn't grow with your monologue.
• No warm-up, no queue, no "transcribing…" purgatory.
• Ramble at full speed. We're built for it.

// reliability — the part everyone else fumbles

Your Wi-Fi quits mid-sentence — unmute keeps going. Café internet from a dial-up fever dream — keeps going. The instant the network wobbles, dictation falls back on-device, automatically. No toggle, no setting to find, no "something went wrong," no monologue lost to a spinner.

You don't choose the engine and you don't notice the hand-off. You just notice that your words showed up. Wispr Flow couldn't keep a sentence alive through a hiccup. So we had to.

// raw by default — the philosophy

Here's our actual opinion, since you're reading: prompting is what people dictate for now. Most of what you say goes straight into ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor. Prompts. And prompts don't need commas.

So we paste raw — no auto-punctuation, no autocorrect quietly editing you into a stranger. Same accuracy, none of the cleanup, none of the "wait, I didn't say that."

// format on demand — opt-in, never forced

Need it shaped for a human instead? Select the text, hold Caps Lock, and say the format out loud — "three bullets," "less corporate," "make it sound human." You name it; we don't pick for you. Two seconds, done.

The point: formatting is something you ask for, not something inflicted on you by an overconfident autocorrect.

// two engines, zero decisions

• Cloud — the fast one. Sub-1-second, every time.
• On-device — fully offline, private, and free. Audio never leaves your Mac.

They hand off automatically. You never pick one; you never see the switch.
