What AI Dictation Tools Actually Are

What AI Dictation Tools Actually Are

I'm looking for tools to help me brief clients and get their answers in voice format. Recently, I found @Yapz It really impressed me. Simple to use, the delightful format of briefing people, only a positive experience. The only downside is that I cannot see the whole call transcript, which is crucial for me. Are there any free/cheap AI alternatives that makes summaries of answers and saves transcripts at the same time?

@Wispr Flow launched on Product Hunt back in 2024. Since then it has become one of those tools that quietly sticks. It's the AI dictation tool a bunch of us here use day to day (yes, there are still a few people committed to typing everything out). It works anywhere on your Mac or PC, so you can just talk and have clean text land wherever your cursor is.

For the next three days, it is showing up on the leaderboard in a different way. From April 14 to 16, you can upvote and comment on Product Hunt using Wispr Flow directly. If you use dictation, those upvotes and comments will carry a bit more weight. Try it out by clicking the Wispr Flow unit on the Leaderboard and telling it to upvote a product name

We just launched on-screen text translation not just subtitles.

As a quick example, we translated Jensen Huang s GDC talk into Chinese:

• audio Chinese voice, tone preserved

• on-screen content localized, style preserved

I was recently talking with a group of founders, and we went around sharing tools we're using now. Posting my notes for our community here - would love to know what else people are using!

Voice AI toolkit:

- Vapi

I've tested so many AI Note takers as of late. @Fathom, @Fireflies.ai , BuildBetter, @Grain, and even Google's Transcribing feature. They're all pretty good but lately @Granola has been winning me over.

BuildBetter is really good for teams, has a nice chat function that lets you chat across all your meetings and get good insight from your team members, calls, clients, etc.
But for personal, and individual notes - Granola is a champion. Recently I've been using Granola's new mobile app for in-person convos and it's amazing. Particularly for my conversations in Japanese, where the chances of me misinterpreting something, missing a key note, or simply not knowing a word are higher. Granola captures all key points and topics and WRITES THE NOTES IN ENGLISH.
Literal immediate translating assistant. I'm not sure if other's do this, but Granola has been the easiest to quickly boot up and get my notes in a snap...without needing to translate.
I'm curious what everyone else uses and why!

Hey Product Hunt community!

This is YUKI from the Typeless marketing team.

Let's be honest: mobile typing is broken. We lose ideas because typing feels like too much work. We delay replies because it's tedious. We fight autocorrect, fix typos, and hope our messages don't sound rushed.

New from @andrewmason: agentive video editing coming to Descript.

A smart, versatile, tireless AI co-editor with all the tools it needs to make any video you want because it s built right into Descript.

If you had to make image or video with sound to publish what tools would you use? What type of content do you (or would you) produce with those tools?

Some tools I'm thinking of are

• @Sora by OpenAI for video

• @Suno.ai for music gen

• @ChatGPT by OpenAI for image gen

• and maybe something like @ReelFarm for UCG-esque automated content.

With so many AI tools popping up every week, I m curious:

Which ones have actually stuck around in your workflow?

• Are you using anything for image/video generation?

• Got an underrated writing or code assistant?

• Something that helps automate tedious stuff?

Would love to hear what s been useful (or surprising)!

Has anyone been successfully talking to Cursor? I started using Superwhisper but having to copy-paste the generated transcription into Cursor is a chore. Looking for something that just works.

Hi Everyone!
Solving AI audio end-to-end means tackling both generation and understanding - from text-to-speech to speech-to-text and everything in between. At ElevenLabs, we re working on breakthroughs in AI audio that bridge research and real-world use.
Ask me anything about what we re building, the challenges of scaling AI speech models, and where this space is headed. Also keen to hear what you ve built with ElevenLabs!

I'm a big fan of voice dictation apps. In fact, I'm using one right now to write this very post (you'll have to wait till the end to see which one I'm using )

The two main products I've used in this space are @Aqua Voice and @Wispr Flow. From talking to others, these are the two that I typically hear people mention using. In general, I hear a lot more people talk about using Wispr Flow.

Here's my hacked-together, messy, voice-based dev environment:

1. Voice-driven loop with screen-shotting so the LLM in the loop can see what's in my terminal and editor. The prompt varies depending on what I'm trying to drive with this loop.

2. A few tool definitions that give read access to files and URLs.

3. A tool the LLM can send a block of output to that generates keyboard events, so the LLM can drive any editor/terminal.

4. A separate process watching a directory and constantly making LLM-driven git commits. (git autosave).

I have some pieces of this running most of the time. But I'm lazy, and doing other stuff, and I also try to use a variety of editors and tools, to see what's good lately. Which ... no stability, so my hacked-together stuff is always broken.

I don't want to replace @Windsurf / @Cursor / Claude code. A seriously good agent and expert-system dev toolkit is a lot of work.
