Unlike built-in tools, which require specific apps or have limited functionality, TalkType provides a consistent, high-performance dictation experience across a range of platforms.

Many users have switched from built-in dictation tools due to TalkType’s higher accuracy and reliability. Users report that built-in tools are frustratingly inaccurate, frequently misinterpret speech, or cut off mid-sentence. TalkType’s ability to handle longer dictation sessions without interruptions and its improved recognition of complex terminology have been key factors in users making the switch.

Ultimately, a dictation tool is designed to enable the user to stay in the flow of writing with their voice. Inbuilt tools lack the accuracy to allow someone to stay in the flow of writing due to the fact that the user will have to make corrections so frequently.

TalkType offers a faster, more accurate dictation experience with a user-friendly interface designed for ease of use and accessibility in mind. It reduces the need for manual corrections, allows for custom words & shortcuts, and offers the ability to dictate into any applications that don’t offer a native dictation functionality.

For users with dyslexia, TalkType provides a fast & efficient way to produce written content without relying on traditional typing, reducing cognitive load and frustration.

TalkType also allows for dictation into other word processors such as Google docs, notepads, microsoft word & any other word processor with unmatched accuracy when comparing to inbuilt solutions.

Built-in dictation tools in comparison to TalkType struggle with accuracy, especially for users with speech impairments or strong accents. They’re also not designed with neurodivergent individuals in mind and lack advanced correction and editing tools. This results in TalkType being a far superior tool because it overcomes these barriers by offering custom vocabulary support, and a more reliable user experience with fewer interruptions across multiple devices.

Unlike built-in voice recognition tools in Windows and Mac, TalkType offers superior dictation accuracy, supports continuous speech without time limits, and provides a more intuitive and efficient user interface tailored for students and with accessibility in mind.
