I’m exploring app options for real-time voice-to-text transcription, similar to macOS dictation.

• ▾I’ve looked at existing solutions like the VoicePen app that allows typing and content transformation.
• ▾I also investigated Inbox AI but found it confusing, and my attempt to configure a new voice assistant proved unsuccessful.
  • ▾I may return to this app one day.
• ▾Seems like Bolt.AI can dictate and type inline.
  • ▾This is essentially the same process I was using with VoicePen, so I’ll continue using VoicePen for longer dictations. I might also use Voice Memos to capture the text, and then I can paste it into the note. Alternatively, I can dictate in line using Bolt.AI.
• ▾On the other hand, I would prefer to use the built-in dictation feature of macOS.
  • ▾Since it integrates seamlessly with text editing, I can see my typed words in real time, and it’s actually quite effective.
  • ▾The good news is that I can go back and fix any issues. They’ve recently added text editing with dictation, so I might not need Bolt.AI after all. Dictation could work perfectly well.
