Why is dictation so inconsistent? Why does it not learn frequently used words?
Working on a large dictation project, reading from a notebook into a Pages document. I am finding that dictation is very inconsistent in what it hears. Sometimes the word "quote" is enough to open a quotation with the quotation mark, sometimes it drops the word "quote" onto the page.
Capitalization is random as well. And it would be super helpful if it learned new words, either by hearing them said, or if the transcribed text were fed back into the system. What I say a work and it gets misheard, it would be great if the correction of it was learned. That may be more of a task for specialized dictation program.
I have also tried MacWhisper and it is slightly better at hearing what I say but it lacks the ability to insert punctuation and new lines/paragraphs. So the built-in dictation is good but not good enough. I dread going back through this and correcting all the misheard words.
