Speech-to-text has come a long way since I first used it in 2011.

I am using a model called Parakeet V3 shipped as part of the desktop app called Handy.

It is the fastest and most accurate dictation tool I've ever used.

Wrote a whole page of documentation using it today.

(Still had to do find/replace to convert groups of words into one PascalCase word.)
