What Happened

AI-powered dictation apps are useful for replying to emails, taking notes, and even coding through your voice

Our Take

Dictation has been solved for a decade (Dragon, native APIs). What's changed is it's finally good enough for coding without constant corrections. That's not AI magic — just better models plus better UX.

Useful? Absolutely. Productivity boost? Real. Revolutionary? Nah. We're talking incremental wins to an existing problem.

It's genuine for accessibility and remote teams, but it's not headline material.

What To Do

Ship dictation if you have accessibility needs or distributed teams; otherwise, it's not urgent.
