Why Google's own speech-recognition is falling behind.
Google Chrome'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 Google yet and likely won't be very soon.
Voicy was made for people who want more accurate, automatically formatted, and faster transcriptions than Google's voice dictation. More info here.
