I have a gripe with voice dictation apps.

I found this back a decade or more ago when I saw windows 7 had an inbuilt voice recognition.

Before that I had an old copy of dragon on xp or 98 I think but the problem remained.

I want this. >>

I want to say a sentence. The computer would understand and speak it back to me. Yes. Then I would say a sentence. It says a word wrong. Scratch that. I say the whole line again.

It may sound repetive but it "should" work because every dictation software expects user to monitor the screen and fix errors that way. If I am reading the screen, I might as well use a keyboard.

I want this full screen-less voice dictation experience by sitting in a comfy blanket, eyes closed and just letting words flow.

Anything else and I would rather just use the keyboard as I said.
