Talking Instead of Typing: Who Else is Doing This?

Hey everyone!

Models like Whisper produce significantly better transcripts compared to word-by-word voice typing. I've started using voice recognition a lot for note-taking.

Here are some examples:

  • Speaking to the mobile version of ChatGPT to copy the recognized text elsewhere, as it's much more accurate than the default speech recognition on my phone.
  • A macOS app leveraging the Whisper model locally, allowing me to speak directly, upload audio files, or capture system audio. I use this to transcribe podcasts or videos without transcripts and to draft texts for editing later.
  • Custom pipelines that gather all audio notes from various devices (watch, phone, computer) to create a text-based diary.

I'm curious about your experiences:

  • Do you use voice for note-taking or writing?
  • Have you increased your use of voice-to-text features recently?
  • What apps or online tools do you rely on for converting speech to text?
  • Do you have any tips for optimizing the use of voice notes?

I'd love to know if you've discovered effective ways to utilize voice for writing or note-taking. Sharing our experiences could help us all learn and perhaps uncover new tools or strategies to try.

Looking forward to your thoughts and suggestions!
