The feedback: helpful in everyday work
According to Julian, his relatives tried and responded positively. They found the app helpful at work. This feedback comes from his family; Julian summarised it for us.
The particular tasks they completed and any time they saved were not described. We therefore present this as personal feedback. It is not an independent customer review or a measured productivity study.
Where dictation fits into work
An email needs a reply, a note needs to be recorded or a thought needs to become a clear AI instruction. These are the kinds of writing tasks supports: you speak instead of typing every sentence from scratch.
You can correct yourself while speaking. Auto-Prompt mode turns spoken thoughts into a structured prompt. When you supply text or screen context, a spoken instruction can use that context.
These are examples from our product documentation. They describe what you can try yourself; they are not test results attributed to Julian’s relatives.

How to form your own experience
- Choose a short, non-confidential writing task from your day, such as an email draft or a note.
- Say what the finished text needs to contain. Correct yourself as you speak if you want to change a thought.
- Read the result and check its meaning, names, numbers and tone. Add or correct anything the task requires.
- Consider the whole process: was it easier to express yourself? How much editing did you need? Would you dictate this kind of text again?
If you want to compare time, include both recording and editing. Our time-savings calculator helps you calculate with your own assumptions. Its result is a model, not a measured result from the family tests described here.

Your everyday work decides
The positive feedback from Julian’s family describes how his relatives experienced using the app. To find out whether dictation helps in your work, try it on a specific task of your own. Start with a text you need to write anyway.
