My injured finger is still too sore to do any typing. Luckily, #VoiceInk, an #opensource dictation app has been coming in clutch for Mac input needs while my finger heals.

It does the audio #transcription/processing locally (which is the only way I think voice data should be managed). I tried it out with the free trial and it's been surprisingly accurate and easy to use.

I recommend it if you're into dictation apps and I'd trust this more than Apple's built-in dication.
