It has its place, as someone with dexterity issues, it is giving me a better ability to speak to type

So far so good! I’ve tried many things for dictation as I’m dyslexic and can’t type or spell worth anything. MacOS dictation is SO flaky, works sometimes, just stops working for no reason. I’ve tried other software/apps as well, this on device JoyType on airplanes, in low wifi, no wifi, is wonderufl. Thank you!
