Oh wow. That video is 12 years old. Early in the presentation Travis reveals he used Dragon back then.
Do you recall Swype keyboard for Android? The one that popularized swyping to write on touch screens? It had Dragon at some point.
IT WAS AMAZING.
Around 12-14 years ago (Android 2.3? Maybe 3?) I was able to easily dictate full long text messages and emails, in my native tongue, including punctuation and occasional slang or even word formation. I could dictate a decent long paragraph of text on the first try and not have to fix a single character.
It's 2025 and the closest I can find is a dictation app on my newest phone that uses online AI service, yet it's still not that great when it comes to punctuation and requires me to spit the whole paragraph at once, without taking a breath.
Is there anything equally effective for any of you nowadays? That actually works across the whole device?
