Based on my understanding of the technology, this also means you can effectively dictate in loud environments. Correct?

I find that I need this most often when I'm doing yard work, running equipment, or cleaning out the garage. Audio based microphones pick up so much noise.

Yep. You can either just dictate silently and we can transcribe, or another feature we will likely push out as a software update is where you can speak out loud and the RF signal is used to fully and almost perfectly denoise the audio of you speaking.

This would also be useful for people who can make mouth movements but not use their vocal chords any more, like people with tracheostomies. It could also be a useful tool for training deaf people/people with partial hearing to speak as many struggle to make the right shapes internally.
