Whisper Memos

Over the years I have tried many ways of dictating to my phone or computer. Back in the day Dragon Dictate used to be pretty good. But even that struggled with my funny Scottish accent. I have also been a big user of Siri on my phone or my watch. I use it all the time to remind me to do things, to reply to messages and occasionally to dictate short stretches of text.

Although it has improved a lot over the years it still makes mistakes and depending on the mistake I can’t always remember when I go back to look at the text what I was trying to say.

But I am writing this post because I do feel that I have now found the perfect solution. It’s a new app called Whisper Memos which uses Open AI functionality to understand the text that I voice onto my watch or phone and after a couple of seconds comes back with a truly remarkable, accurate transcription. I’m dictating this on it and I’ve not had to change a thing!
