VerdictThe clearest anti-subscription statement here, and a solid tool. Compare it against Handy before paying.Still the one to beat on output quality. If your work is not privacy-sensitive and you dictate every day, the subscription pays for itself; if it is, start with a local-first challenger instead.
Pros
  • Source available under AGPL — auditable end to end
  • One-time binary price for people who do not want to compile
  • No cloud dependency of any kind
  • The cleanest raw-speech-to-finished-text output of anything tested
  • Works in every app, including terminals and browser text boxes
  • Learns your names, jargon and formatting habits over time
Cons
  • $69 is steep next to fully free MIT rivals
  • Fewer conveniences than the paid commercial tier
  • Windows build trails the Mac one
  • No offline mode at all — every word goes to their servers
  • $15/mo is the most expensive of the consumer tier
  • Free tier's 2,000 words a week runs out fast for real writing
