They need to show some examples. You beat all the top models on your private data set? Show at least a couple examples - audio and transcripts - from examples that your model got right and others got wrong.

Congrats Wisprflow, love to see this. Especially learning the users nuances and corrections, i think that may be novel in the dictation app space. Things like Handy have the ability to specify common typos but some method of automatic learning is new.

This is a pretty hot space right now. For me, it's all incredible for two things:

- I get my unabridged thoughts down on the page substantially quicker and cleaner using dictation. I believe dictation is the perfect first draft tool, and an amazing way to interact with AI too as you can dump tonnes of personal opinion in to every prompt without the overhead of keyboard interface.

- Accessibility! I know a couple of folks whos ability to use a computer has been tremendously elevated by the recent improvements in dictation. Due to mobility issues, they feel largely locked out of interacting online and tools like Handy and Wisprflow have been a game changer for them.

Very excited about all this, keep it coming!

Wonder if they are aware of Cantonese, the language that is often abbreviated as Canto.
