A writer's tool. If you draft essays by talking, it is the most sympathetic option here; for chat replies it is overkill.

Full review

Monologue treats dictation as drafting rather than typing. Long pauses do not end the capture, self-corrections are resolved rather than transcribed, and the output reads like a first draft instead of a transcript.

That tuning cuts the other way in short bursts, where its rewriting can feel heavy-handed.
