Not sure why I should use this instead of the baked-in OS dictation features (which I use almost daily--just double-tap the world key, and you're there). What's the advantage?

I haven't used this one but WisprFlow is vastly better than the built-in functionality on MacOS. Apple is way behind even startups, even for fundamental AI functionality like transcribing speech

- Way more accurate, especially with technical jargon. Try saying JSON as part of a sentence to macOS dictation and see what comes out.

- macOS dictation mutes other sounds while it's running. This is a deal-breaker for me.
