I wrote the entire title and this first paragraph using the speech recognition on my mobile phone running a local model. It's rather scary actually and I did have to make one edit or maybe two depending on how this goes. The word SpinVox wasn't transcribed correctly but other than that it works.

For those unaware, in 2007 SpinVox was supposed to be this speech recognition service that would automatically transcribe what you said, but it was actually powered completely by humans.

Nowadays, though, speech recognition is so good that you can actually run it completely offline and it will make this post without you having to do any punctuation or anything except editing the word SpinVox.

And actually, in the end, I didn't just write the first paragraph with it. I actually wrote this entire post using the speech recognition model. Literally, the only edits I've made to this post are to edit the word SpinVox, because whenever I say it, it doesn't transcribe it correctly. And to prove it, I'm going to just leave in whatever it puts in this paragraph.

And of course the fucking thing has to go and actually spell it the right way that time.
