When I saw the video, it's so cool. :)
But when I use it, it's terrible. :(

I also found it a bit difficult to use, I suspect that you need to speak with a very slow speed and super accurate + clear pronunciation.

It's an awesome idea but still needs some work in speech recognition before I will pick it up for myself.

I have to say, this crossed my mind too. Uly has a beautifully clear English accent. I wonder how well it will hope with an accent that is not as recognised. My parents for example, have a Geordie accent from the north east of England (it's a bit like a Scottish accent...)

Would be cool if you could add your own custom voice commands.

Yes! Adding key bindings/hotkeys would be great

This looks like fun! I would use it a lot. It works pretty well for me, the only word it struggled with (ironically) was Uly... which it changed to Julie every time! If that's the only edit I need to make, that's pretty great. Really excited about the accessibility side, it will give a lot of people greater independence.

I'm really impressed with how responsive and accurate it is when picking up my voice even when I speak very fast with an accent

Good tip! However, some people (like me) prefer writing rather than dictating message since I would say a lot of "backspace" 😊
But this is really convenient to use with simple word/commands.

I really struggle to dictacte - first because of the accent, but also because i find it much less efficient.
Can't wait for Neuralink to bypass all of that ;)
