I wasn't looking for a better way to dictate my thoughts or articulate what I do throughout the day. I actually came across Monologue because I'm an Every subscriber, and this is one of their products and incubators. I'm a big fan of their knowledge, expertise, and the way they approach AI and AI products, so I thought I would give it a shot to see what it was about.
I hadn't been actively searching for a dictation tool. I had heard of Wispr Flow, Claude for Desktop's dictation, ChatGPT's dictation, and other apps, but I didn't realize I had a problem until I used Monologue. One of my favorite things about Monologue is that it gamifies the experience: you can see your rank, whether you're in the top 2 %, 5 %, or 10 % of users, how many words you've spoken, how much time you've saved, and how fast you speak. Those stats make me realize how much time I save by speaking instead of typing, and now I feel I couldn't live without it. Monologue illuminated this problem for me as a new dictation user.
