Have you tried Soniox? It's really not expensive ($0.12/h, $200 free credits when you sign up) and really accurate.

You can use it with Spokenly (free app, bring your own Soniox API key) on macOS and iOS (virtual voice keyboard)

Why would I buy this if my Mac has it for free? Is it “just better”?


The mac one is pretty limited. I paid for a similar tool as above and the LLM backing makes the output so much better. All my industry specific jargon gets captured perfectly whereas the Apple dictation just made up nonsense.

It's really accurate and supports 60+ languages
