How to Enable Obsidian Speech to Text (the Easy Way)
Obsidian is a powerful tool for building your second brain and organizing your thoughts, but it's missing one key feature that could supercharge your note-taking: native speech-to-text functionality.

Unfortunately Obsidian is yet to add a dictation solution.
