As a writer who’s been stuck trying to transfer an entire manuscript from paper to screen, I’ve battled with typing fatigue more times than I’d like to admit.

Manually re-typing chapters was exhausting, my wrists hurt, my keyboard frowns at me lol, and the process hinders my creative flow. I've tried other AI Speech to text tools but they all have short comings.

I tried Ito . It has great response time (Terrific), almost instant, and the accuracy genuinely shocked meit catches punctuation, names, indentation and likes.

The interface is simple, clean, and so easy to use that it feels like having a personal assistant right on your Text you just have to use your Shortcut button or just "Hey Ito" it.

I’ve been able to dictate huge parts of my manuscript without losing momentum, and the progress is the fastest I’ve made in months. Ito could still get even better with features like offline mode, voice-style detection, and cross-device sync, but even without these, it has already become a productivity cheat code for writers, students, and anyone who types a lot. If typing feels overwhelming, Ito is the perfect escape plan and my fingers have never been more grateful.

A few upgrades could make ito even more powerful. Adding an offline mode would help during low connectivity moments, and stronger long form editing tools could make handling chapters and large documents smoother. Voice-style detectio, able to distinguishing dialogue from narration, this would boost accuracy even more, and cross device syncing would create a seamless workflow across phones and laptops.

It's a real time detection tool that works even offline for Mac

Ito handles punctuation and formatting automatically, it adds commas, periods, paragraphs, and line breaks as you speak, making your dictation look decent

Ito performs well with accents overall, but like most voice-to-text tools, accuracy improves the more you use it. It learns your speech patterns over time, so recognition gets smoother and more accurate with continued use.
