If you speak two languages, does dictation ever work for you mid-sentence?

by•

I'm Yun, and I launched Univocal today. I switch between Korean and English constantly, often inside one sentence, and every dictation tool I tried made me pick one language first. The moment I switched, it wrote nonsense.

I'm curious whether this is common. If you're bilingual, do you dictate at all, or did you give up? Which language pairs break worst for you? And do you use read-aloud to proofread your own writing, or only for long articles?

Univocal is my attempt at it: dictation on the Mac that copes with mixed-language speech, plus a reading panel that reads selected or copied text aloud and highlights each word. Speech is processed on your Mac. I'd like to hear which language mixes you'd want me to test.
