Apple dictation on MacOS is actually pretty dang good. I've got it bound to a double-tap on fn and I use it pretty regularly.

Wisprflow is not $12/month better than ios.

I’d much rather have “cheap, dependable, and good enough” over oligarch pricing for what used to be a one time software purchase any day.

The value just isn’t there for $12. This is just developers being greedy as their cost is nowhere near $12.

Compare this to other things and the value yielded is nowhere as near as better purchases.

I just installed this and already despise its pricing model. I trust this product approximately zero.

Open-source STT apps are plenty and just as good. Pick one from this list:
