I'm throwing another hat in the ring as this technology totally working most of the time. I used it to write this comment.

This should make my life a lot easier because I find myself going to my phone and using the dictation feature a lot recently. It's not as good as the one on my android, but it's 95% of the way there.




Reading your comment with nerd-dictation returns this for me:

For use with no training that looks great. I'm sure that as I learn to speak more clearly, your 95% estimate is achievable.


Interesting are you using the full model? I found with a good microphone and the full 1 gigabyte language model that the quality is quite good compared to other people's phones I have used from time to time.


How did you add the punctuation and capitalization?


That was by hand but it's a small task.


I'm imagining remapping some VIM shortcuts for even easier capitalizing words and adding common punctuation.

This remap makes the "." key add a period after the previous word, capitalize the current word, then move on to the next word:

  :noremap . bea.<esc>w~w
