The only holdout for me is ‘Dictation’ (Nuance Communications) voice dictation. I assume they would have the resources to fix it if they really wanted to, but it has not been updated for over 4 years, and it has a pretty crude interface so it is clear they have had no interest in offering a free dictation option for some time. They charge too much for a subscription to their professional product (at least for my very limited need for this). But I’m surprised how few apps there are in this category. Several of them are basically a portal to human transcribers somewhere on the other side of the world probably and I would worry about privacy and security in using that, and maybe accuracy as well. Not to mention time delay even if it is only ten or twenty minutes.
Doesn’t Siri use an offshoot of Nuance technology? I know it did back before Apple bought it anyway...
