How is this different from macOS built-in dictation?

In my experience, built-in dictation simply isn’t as accurate, and it’s far less flexible. TongueType gives you a configurable hold-to-record hotkey, audio and video file transcription, and smart post-processing with your own custom rules. For long-form or professional dictation, that combination matters a lot more than a built-in shortcut does.

It’s also just more fun. Pick from twenty accent colors or turn on Rainbow Mode for the recording overlay, write your own listening label, place the recording indicator wherever you like, and sync it all across your Macs. It’s a tool you’ll actually enjoy using.
