Why Microsoft's own speech-recognition is falling behind.
Microsoft's own voice dictation used to be the leading technology in the market, but it has fallen behind.
Recent advancements in speech-to-text technology have introduced new models that are far faster and more accurate.
These new technologies have not been adopted by Microsoft yet and likely won't be very soon.
Voicy was made for people who want more accurate, automatically formatted, and faster transcriptions than Windows' voice dictation.
