Monologue

Love the accuracy on Monologue, and it handles multiple Indian languages. Would recommend!

I wasn't looking for a better way to dictate my thoughts or articulate what I do throughout the day. I actually came across Monologue because I'm an Every subscriber, and this is one of their products and incubators. I'm a big fan of their knowledge, expertise, and the way they approach AI and AI products, so I thought I would give it a shot to see what it was about.I hadn't been actively searching for a dictation tool. I had heard of Wispr Flow, Claude for Desktop's dictation, ChatGPT's dictation, and other apps, but I didn't realize I had a problem until I used Monologue. One of my favorite things about Monologue is that it gamifies the experience: you can see your rank, whether you're in the top 2 %, 5 %, or 10 % of users, how many words you've spoken, how much time you've saved, and how fast you speak. Those stats make me realize how much time I save by speaking instead of typing, and now I feel I couldn't live without it. Monologue illuminated this problem for me as a new dictation user.

I've been using this app heavily for the past month, and I can't think of any other product besides LLMs that have unlocked more productivity gains in the last few years. I especially love its contextual awareness of the application I'm in and the custom instructions I can give. It's fantastic for composing quick replies in Microsoft Teams or Outlook, or even composing messages to LLMs themselves. I've found that I'm using LLMs even more aggressively than before because it's so much easier to communicate what I want. Even though I'm a very effective typist, it's just so much easier to say it. The only downside is that I'm an office worker, and I have to continually close my door so my co‑workers aren't hearing everything I'm saying to myself and thinking I'm crazy in here.
