If you asked me to be 100% honest
MurMurType
MurMurType integrates with OpenAI’s Whisper model to provide reliable and accurate output.
The upsides of MurMurType:

- Offers high accuracy, often outperforming built-in dictation tools like Apple Dictation.
- Automatically adds punctuation, streamlining the dictation process.
- Current and future product development plans are visible for the entire community to see.
The downsides of MurMurType:
- Randomly switches languages during transcription, making some dictations unusable.
- Every so often you might run into a bug or a performance issue (MurMurType actively works on resolving these issues fast).
- Misses some more advanced features like automatic formatting & structuring and voice edit commands.
Flow’s AI intelligent features turns your natural voice into well formatted and error free text, exactly like you would expect it to.
This reliability allows you to work at the speed of thought but without the typing.

The downside of Flow:
- Currently only available for macOS; Windows support is still in the works.
- Not ideal for complex technical dictation in fields like law or medicine.
- Minor edits in technical contexts may be required.
