Apple is finally fixing voice dictation
Why am I optimistic? It's going to run on Gemini 💀
apple finally improved the voice dictation models across iOS, macOS, etc.
this has a potential impact on all of the voice dictation companies launched.
@omooretweets it’s actually a local on device model, which might not be great tbh. will test it.

@signulll yeah like WisprFlow which is better than the current dictation
@signulll I need to see a head to head this vs wisprflow
@signulll Wait is this on the 26.6 beta cause mine still sucks
@signulll cant wait to see the 200 wispr flow is dead tweets
@signulll Yeah but you need a year old apple product, from a company that famously has people rocking 3-5 year old devices. I'm sure those startups will be fine.
@signulll Powered by Gemini though I think!
@signulll I’m royally unhappy if the improved voice dictation does not come to my iPhone 16 pro max. I literally primarily purchased that phone specifically to get better voice dictation. If these fuckers make it so I can’t have that. I’m I’m so mad so fucking mad.
@itsobinnasworld yes of course however a large portion of customers for these startups tend to be power users who use latest devices.
@signulll They are all very, very vulnerable.
@signulll curious to see what adoption of the dictation on watch will look like, even with the improvements. talking into a watch just feels odd to do no matter how you shake it
@foglebr @signulll Siri is dumb bro
@signulll but did they improve the ios keyboard
@signulll Do existing apps using Apple’s models automatically get updated or is it something we have to do
@signulll Are you generally impressed by the new Siri so far?
@signulll Isn't the screen awareness that are you working on with @Skye?
@signulll Still not able to use it in Slovak language (since 2011) :(
@signulll Apple's native dictation finally getting competitive is a big shift
Voice startups built on accuracy alone now have a much harder path
@signulll the risk of being a feature upskill in an incumbent ecosystem
