I finally got around to using my new dictation software, StorySpeak AI. The "AI" bit on the end sort of gives it away, dunnit? I don’t think this program is doing what the old Dragon Dictate or Siri or any of the first-gen, second-gen programs were doing. Partly, I say that because it is so scary accurate.
That's almost certainly a startup-mode UI glitch. It'll be running locally and blatting text up on the screen before the next subscription cheque is due.
Where you'll really freak out though will be when it starts to run ahead of you, like predictive spelling correction does now. You'll question whether it's still you making up the story...
I thought I'd give this a crack. Might be good for transcribing interviews (my pet hate and huge time suck). It put me on a waitlist with the following:
"Boom, you're on the list.
Expect to hear from us soon.
We're inviting new authors on board as quickly as we can.
Now get off the internet and go do some writing while you wait."
"Eventually, I got pretty fluent. I learned to dictate my formatting and quotation marks and so on, but that took a long time" from your description I always imagined something like the chopped and precise language used by Thufir Hawat Dune speaking about the attacks on Arrakeen in the David Lynch Film.
I dunno- I haven't had cause to use dictation yet because I do love the tactile feel of the keys and the instant feedback on-screen. See your last paragraph. I think this would be a major obstacle for me.
And before Elana asks, yes, it's fine with Australian accents.

...good attitude.
