I broke my right (dominant) collarbone on Wednesday so I’ve entered the realm of the temporarily disabled user.
So far I prefer iOS because the predictive text above the keyboard (in iOS 16 too) and in particular the speech to text feature has been so good!
The only egregious error that I have encountered has been confusion around the phrase “into” when I mean “in two”. An understandable mistake.
- messe 3y agoOut of curiosity, what accent do you have? In my experience that can have a significant impact on how good speed to text works for you.
- jamiedumont 3y agoFairly neutral British. Born and raised in Guernsey so have a complete absence of regional accent without the very forced enunciation that comes from elocution lessons / Queens English. Admittedly I probably represent the best-case subject.

With an Irish accent, my experience has been... okay with Apples text to speech, it's certainly better than others, but I still have to make a conscious effort to enunciate quite differently to my normal speech. OpenAI's whisper has really impressed me though, and transcribes almost everything perfectly, even if I throw in phrases or words from other languages part way through the conversation.
